Hello Belle View Families,
It is hard to believe that we are sailing through our last school week of December. Ms. Lehner and I wish all of our students, families, and staff members a safe, happy and healthy holiday!
We look forward to ushering in the holiday season with students and families this week at our winter concert on Wednesday evening or at our winter sing along on Friday afternoon.
Have a wonderful break and we will look forward to seeing all our students and staff back on Monday, January 6th, 2025.
Proud Principals,
Katie Pluntke and Kristen Lehner
