Principal's Corner
Things are finally moving forward with our landscape upgrade that to include security upgrades such as a fence, water-wise irrigation, and a student seating area! The RFP was posted and our walk through with contractors is Friday. It’s a good first step and we hope to award the contract in a month.
I attended our SPOA annual meeting this week and was encouraged by some of the guideline changes they are making regarding xeriscaping! It will help our cause. They also reported that the Costco is anticipated to be a year from now, next spring. The demolition of the current site should be completed in 4 more months.
The City of Littleton has informed us that our upgraded signage and flashers are scheduled to go in the end of March. That should help with street safety around us immensely.
Some BIG news is that we have selected another uniform vendor. Lands' End has created a website for our school with the appropriate uniform selections. See details below for the links.
I enjoyed tasting foods from around the world in second grade this week and the second graders celebrated their immigration heritage. The sweet rice from Sudan was matched by the rice and mangos from Thailand! It’s amazing how foods can be unique yet similar from different continents. We are truly a human family.
