THANK YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU!

We are so grateful to the parents who joined us on Saturday, August 22, 2015, for Campus Work Day, as well as Mr. Morales for organizing the event.  7 families came to help us prepare classroom interiors by cleaning desks, book shelves, windows, etc., as well as some outdoor campus clean-upl.  Our teachers were so pleased to return to rooms that had been treated so kindly before they returned to campus on Monday, August 24, 2015.


 

Partnering with our families on projects like this is a perfect reflection of our mission to inspire students to act with thoughtfulness and compassion.  Thank you for being an example.

We are so excited to have everyone on campus the night before school starts so that families can get acquainted with one another, and students can visit their classroom and teacher.  Bring a blanket or chairs and some food to share...
it will be a great way to start our year together!
