Thank you to our wonderful PTA Room Parents for hosting some really fun holiday parties!!
You may have noticed our newest addition on the playground, our Learning Cottages. Our health class will now be held in the Learning Cottage as we are adding two new teachers, one to kinder and one to 2nd grade.
