PTA October Updates

October 2023

From your PTA Presidents

The crisis in Israel and Gaza continues to weigh deeply upon our hearts. Our thoughts are with all those impacted and suffering from these tragic, devastating acts of terror.

We are grateful for the leadership of our school principals and Dr. Hamilton, and for the insightful resources shared in their school-wide messages on Friday:

As always, email us with any questions, feedback, or ideas.
