Principal's Corner
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a safe and spooktacular Halloween weekend. The seventh and eighth grade students are very excited about their trip to Washington, DC. This is a great opportunity for our students to visit the nation's capital and experience the history first hand. Also, don't forget about the VOICE meeting on Monday. The meeting will give our school board information about the great things happening and areas that the school could improve. Lastly, please check in the office before going into any of our school buildings. This is in accordance with our safety plan. Your help in providing the safest environment for your children is much appreciated.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
