From Your Administrative Team |
Greetings Families,
To our families celebrating the arrival of Eid al-Fitr and the end of Ramadan, Eid Mubarak! We wish you a happy celebration to the end of fasting.
We also want to wish all our families a happy Teacher Appreciation Week! As Parent Educators, you are pivotal in the success of this community, and in your child's growth and happiness. Thank you for choosing this journey with us, and thank you for your hard work in partnering in your child's education! We appreciate you!
Finally, we want to say a HUGE "Thank You!" to our planning committees who organized our recent Middle School Dance and last week's STEAM Carnival! Both events were incredible, and they wouldn't have been made possible without Jahmal, and our parent/student volunteers! We are grateful for these opportunities that bring our community together to play and connect.
