A huge thank you to Mr. Priest and the parents who joined us for the Principal’s Coffee this past Tuesday. We shared a very heartfelt, thoughtful conversation about the joys and struggles of school and parenthood. It was a great way to start the day! We are planning for another coffee in February 2025.
All are welcome to join us at our next PTSA Meeting this Tuesday, November 5th (voting day!). We will meet at 7:00 p.m. in the MPR.
