The Power of Optimism


We are off to a great start as we enter the second full week of school.  The power of optimism and determination is in the air.  This is our first edition of the NewsFlash for the 2017-2018 school year. Don't forget to come out and begin to build relationships with your child's teachers by attending Back-To-School nights.  

Have an awesome day!
