Thank you for a great week of conferencing! Our teachers put in some very long hours during this short week, and we are so appreciative of their dedication! A special thanks to all of our parents, who took the time to validate our teacher's hard work spent preparing to discuss your child(ren)'s progress. The year is off to a stellar start!

One week from tonight, our 8th graders will execute their first major fundraiser of the school year, accompanied by screams of fear and delight from the rest of our school family. Please plan on joining us for this fun family event! If you would like to make a candy donation to help support the first floor trick or treating, our 8th graders would certainly appreciate your contribution. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
We have much to look forward to and so much to be grateful for.!
Thanks for another great week and have a wonderful weekend!
God bless ~
