Principal's Corner
Greetings,
Time is flying by and school is quickly coming to a close. This past week we had our annual art show. This was a great opportunity for our students to show their artistic talents. I would like to thank Mrs. Napier and all who helped put this show together. The program is a favorite of many and this year's show was as fantastic as always. Also, last Friday we had our field day. The children enjoyed playing on the inflatables, participating in the games, and watching the famous egg drop! Mrs. Mullikin did a great job organizing this day of fun for the students. MAP testing was completed last week and overall our students did an excellent job. Finally, our 8th grade students will be graduating on Friday. They are a very talented and creative group. They will be missed, but I am confident they are ready to tackle new challenges.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
