Letter from the Principal
Dear Tiger Families,
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended our Veterans Day Assembly. Your presence made the event truly special, honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. A special thank you to Colonel Andrew Lueckenhoff, USAF for being our guest speaker. Who will go? Send me! - Isaiah 6:8
A special thank you to our veterans. Your dedication and sacrifice have allowed us to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. We are deeply grateful for your service and the example you set for future generations.
Thank you for joining us in honoring our heroes.
Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, in Honor of Veterans Day. We hope everyone enjoys the extended weekend and takes some time to rest and recharge!
As always, we thank you for sharing your student with us. We appreciate your trust, support, and partnership. TIGERS LEAD THE WAY!
TIGERS TOGETHER FOR ADAM!
Sincerely,
Nicole Green
