Title I Newsletter 2/9/24 Building a Bridge to the Future
Ms. Mercedes Message 2/9/24
Today we had Strong 4 Life Representatives at the school. Four ways to be Strong 4 Life are: Exercise, Eat Healthily, Get Sleep, & Drink water.
Parent / Teacher Conferences: We have Early Release Days on March 6th and 7th. Be on the lookout next week for the link. Each classroom teacher will send the link directly to families via Parent Square.
We are excited for our Sweetheart dance with students and families tonight! We hope we will see you there.
I want to take this moment to express our gratitude and appreciation for our school counselors. During this National School Counselor Week, the county held an award ceremony to recognize the dedication, hard work, and incredible amount of empathy our counselors show each day.
Have a great weekend!
