Principal's Message

Dear Families,

This was a fantastic week at our school, filled with engaging learning experiences and strong community connections. Our teachers and students enjoyed visiting the Book Fair, which was a great success, and Family Book Fair Night brought even more excitement as families joined in the fun of reading together. We were also thrilled to welcome high school students who worked with our first graders to teach them about sand dunes, an experience our students truly enjoyed.

Looking ahead, we are excited for STEAM Week, where students will have the opportunity to explore hands-on learning through a visit from the STEM bus. We are also looking forward to welcoming students from the Junior Achievement Academy, who will be taking over our classrooms for a day of interactive learning.

In addition, Wind Down Wednesday D.E.A.R March Madness Reading Challenge is off to a great start, bringing enthusiasm and embracing the love of reading together as a school community.

We look forward to another great week of learning and fun! 📚✨

Thank you for your continued support!

Have a great weekend!

Principal
Mrs. Latiya White
