SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

It was great seeing many of you at Open House. I appreciated the questions, support, and honest conversations. Parent-Teacher conferences will be coming up, and we will let you know your assigned time slot. If it does not work for you or you cannot meet that day then we can discuss a different time to meet.

THANK YOU to all who have donated to our Fun Run or shared the link for donations. The students are excited to see where we land in the rankings, but we are all excited for what we are able to do with the monies raised. Great things have come from our previous Fun Runs!
