Newsletter: Week 30 of 37

More filming for 5th grade video!
April 21 - 25, 2014

   Thank you so much to all those who contributed to Staff/Teacher Appreciation Week! It it always so wonderful to be appreciated, but what I appreciate the most is how the parents work hard to raise their kids well and how the students work hard to be diligent with their responsibilities. That is what means the most to me! So, I really appreciate all that I see the families doing each and every day. Make it a great week, everyone!
