Greetings Lettie Dent Families!
"The time is always right to do what is right."
Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and how he inspired the human race to strive for harmony among all people. His words and his dedication to equality continue to inspire us today.
Kindly,
Mrs. Lindsay G. Brenfleck, Principal
Mr. Joseph D. Farrell, Assistant Principal
