PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Hello Spartans,
It is hard to believe we are already in the final quarter of the school year! You can truly begin to feel the energy building as we move toward Graduation and our year-end celebrations.
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Pyramid Art Show this past Wednesday. It is always amazing to witness the incredible talent of our students from across the entire pyramid; the creativity on display was a testament to the hard work of our students and their dedicated teachers.
We also had a very special Wednesday morning honoring our military-connected students and their families at our Donuts with Dependents event. As a proud Purple Star School, we recognize the profound impact and sacrifices made by our military families, and it was a joy to spend time celebrating them.
As we navigate these busy final weeks, communication remains key. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teachers, counselors, or assistant principals if you have any concerns, questions, or joys to share. We deeply appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with you to ensure a strong finish for every student.
Thank you for your continued support of our school and our Spartans.
Go Spartans!
Shannon
Acting Principal
Dream Big, Work Hard, Be Proud
Spartan Spotlight
April is the Month of the Military Child
We had a wonderful turnout at our annual Donuts with Dependents where military-connected families enjoyed donuts and coffee with their families and other military students. We also had a visit from CSM Brandon Creel, (Garrison Command Sergeant Major). Thank you to our MFLC Dr. Kendra Burnside and our College and Career Specialist Mr. Jeff Toomer for their organization of this wonderful event and for all our families who serve our nation!
