Dear Poplar Tree Families,
We want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for our wonderful school community. Your support, encouragement, and partnership are so important in creating a positive and enriching learning environment for our students.
We am grateful for the dedication of our teachers and staff, who work hard to inspire and educate our children day in and day out. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every classroom!
We are also thankful for our students, who bring joy, curiosity, and a zest for learning to our school. They are the reason we love what we do!
As a reminder, schools and offices will be closed November 27-29. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Classes will resume on Monday, December 2.
