A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

Can you believe it is already the holiday season? December is a time for celebration, gratitude, and giving back to our community. As we reflect on the year, it’s heartwarming to see the growth and achievements of our students. I encourage everyone to participate in our upcoming holiday events and activities, which foster a spirit of togetherness and joy.

We have a PTO-sponsored craft night that promises to be an evening of fun for families, along with our wonderful holiday concerts happening this month. Students have been learning their lines and practicing songs, and we can’t wait to showcase their hard work and talent for you! 

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school. We enjoy seeing you in our building and being involved in your child’s education. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season filled with happiness, warmth, and cherished moments with loved ones!


Happy Holiday Wishes,

Mrs. Elliott
