From the Principal

Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

Psalm 1

Hello Everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend and a happy belated St. Valentine’s Day.  Many thanks to the parents who volunteered to host the classroom parties on Thursday.  You made the day so special for the students.

Have a great week!

Ms. Booth
