Principal's Message
Dear School Families,
As we welcome November, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our school community. This month brings opportunities for reflection and appreciation, especially as we celebrate Thanksgiving.
We continue to be excited about last month's events, including parent-teacher conferences and Trunk or Treat. Your involvement in our school is valuable for our students and fosters growth and connectedness.
As the weather turns cooler, please ensure your children are dressed appropriately for outdoor activities. Let’s continue to work together to keep our students healthy and engaged.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school. Wishing you and your families a warm and wonderful November!
In partnership,
Dr. Laurie Pogorzelski
Holiday Families in Need
As the holiday season approaches, our wonderful PTO has offered to sponsor a few families who could benefit from a little extra support with gift giving this year. We invite you to reach out to the School Social Worker, Andra Burton, if you would like to be considered for this special opportunity. She can be reached at 262-970-3559 or aburtonpie@waukesha.k12.wi.us if you would like to be considered. Please keep in mind that only a few families are able to be selected.
