Dear Parents,


I am happy to announce that our second grade teacher Mrs. Tina Sabin and her husband  Ryan welcomed their second child, Jaxon James Sabin on March 6th at 1:09 pm.  He was 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 21” tall. Jaxon joins his big brother Kia, who is a student in our 4K class.  God bless Mrs. Sabin and her family as they welcome in their new gift from God.
