Dear Parents and Guardians,
This past week all of our students had the opportunity to participate in activities that were centered around the theme of respecting one another. The students read and created poems, posters and "helping hands" of respect which they then posted on the outside of their lockers. Throughout our school, various examples of student work can be found in our hallways!
Today marks the beginning of the first of many school spirit activities that the students will be working together on in their spirit teams. We will be sure to keep you updated on the results of each competition as they come in! Enjoy your weekend!
Regards,
Shawn Kelly
