From your Proud Principal
Clarence Pollock

Have a safe and fun Summer Break, filled with great reading and fun adventures!
We remain optimistic about the future as we navigate through this journey, and we are here to support each and every one of you! We hope you are healthy, and finding ways to take care of yourself and your families. Always remember…

We will do our BEST. You do your BEST. And it will be OK!
WE SEE YOU!
WE HEAR YOU!
WE CARE FOR YOU!
WE LOVE YOU!

Kindness is key in our steps forward as a learning community, and it starts with our youngest learners - being kind to all those around you, regardless of skin color, race, or sexual orientation. Being kind to the people around you is one of the easiest things to do … and it makes you feel better in your heart and mind too! Start complimenting people today, hold a door open, or just smile - these are just a few of the many simple, but also very important ways to show kindness. 

What actions will you do to show your kindness?
Our world, our friends and our families need to feel the kindness!

With Love, Honor, and Respect,
Mr. Pollock
Proud Principal
