 Assistant Principal Gilley and the 6th graders at the Sixth Grade Promotion
A Message from Principal Crews
Dear Hornet Family,
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent 6th grade promotion and the End of Year Family Picnic. It was incredible to listen to our 6th graders speeches and see the growth they have made through the years. At the indoor picnic on Friday we began celebrating the 250th birthday of our country and what better way to do it than with families from our school community!
These last couple of weeks our school has been filled with so many happy Hornets and evidence of student learning. Students are so proud to show their families their learning whether it is at a concert, a promotion ceremony or at a Hornet of the Month presentation. Your presence and support mean the world to our staff and students.
As we head into the final days of the school year, we have other milestones to celebrate. Please keep an eye out for final details regarding our upcoming promotion next week:
-
Kindergarten Promotion, June 15 at 9:15am: Celebrating our youngest learners as they take their next big step!
- June Hornet of the Month, June 16 at 8:15am
Please keep in mind that the final day of school is Wednesday, June 17, and it will be a 2-hour early release day with dismissal so school ends at 1:05pm. Please ensure you have childcare and transportation arrangements lined up for the earlier dismissal.
Thank you for partnering with us to make this year so special. Let’s finish this week strong!
Sincerely,
Jasibi Crews, Principal
