Message from the Principal
Greetings Findley Community~
The generosity and appreciation we received as a school staff the week of Staff Appreciation was BEYOND! We are so fortunate to have such a thoughtful and supportive community of families. Thank you!
Bingo Night and the Book Fair were such amazing events! Thank you so much to all our parents who made these events such a success. It has been so good to see so many of our families in person and to hold community together once again. My heart is full!
We have five weeks left with your kiddos and we are soaking up every minute of it. This week's newsletter is full of recent goings on, and upcoming events.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sherry Marsh, Ed.D.

May is Asian American/Pacific Islander Month
During our May virtual assembly, we’d love to celebrate our students and families of Asian American/Pacific Islander heritage. We’d love to learn about anything your child would like to share like languages, traditions, and celebrations, to name a few.
If your child(ren) would like to share something about themselves or your family in a brief video, please contact Mrs. Hargrave via email or ParentSquare by May 24th.
Thank You!
Congratulations!!
