It's hard to believe that the second quarter comes to an end this Tuesday!
It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming students back. It has been my absolute pleasure to serve this community as Interim Principal for the entire quarter. Even in this short time, I have witnessed incredible growth in each of your students. We are all excited to see what the third quarter holds for learning. Enjoy the midweek day off on Wednesday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Adams
