Theme for 2015-2016~ 
THINK!  This is our theme again for 2015-2016.  THINK stands for Trustworthy, Honesty, Integrity, Non-violent, Kindness.  We will emphasize and recognize our students when they commit to this belief.  We want our students to make the most of each day by giving their best, seeking ways to help our school be a better place, always striving to improve, and entering the building each day with a great attitude.  Please encourage your children to THINK each day before they arrive at school.

Mr. Chambers
