HELLO FROM PRINCIPAL LOWE

Parents,
Next Wednesday evening, April 27, at 6:30 p.m., I will be talking at the PTO meeting about the changes we are working on for next school year with schedules, curriculum, etc., and our goals for next year. If you are interested in learning about what is on the horizon, I would encourage you to attend.
Thank you to everyone who made our PTO Gala a success! It was a great evening, with wonderful auction items and that surprise flash mob - don't our teachers have the best moves?? A huge thank you to our incredible PTO board for chairing this event. Not only did we raise money to support our students and teachers, but we actually had fun doing it!
Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you next Wednesday at the PTO meeting!
Warmly,
Robin Lowe
Executive Principal
