We have begun Morning Announcements that pertain to the elementary school exclusively. If your students come home seeking an answer to one of our trivia questions that may come up, do not hesitate to help them!

 The Kindergarten 100th Day of School Parade is scheduled for Friday, February 10. We can't wait to see what the students create this year to celebrate this milestone! PLEASE remember that I can be reached by e-mail or voicemail at Extension 340 should you need to contact me with any issues that may arise involving your child or family. I guarantee that ALL communications will be returned within moments after I hear the message.
