Note from Principal Daws
What a great week we have had.

Today we had music and activities at lunch to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. It was fun!
We have parent teacher student conferences all next week so we will have early dismissal all week at 2:25. If you wish to have a conference and have not scheduled one, please call your student's counselor. We look forward to seeing you! I hope you will all be enjoying the lovely weather ahead for this weekend.

Sincerely,
Ginny
