Message From The Principal
Welcome December!
As we enter the month of December, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the first half of the school year. It has been a time of great learning a growth for our students, and I am so proud of all that they have accomplished.
Our teachers have worked hard to create a positive and engaging learning environment for our students. They have provided them with the tools and support they need to succeed in school. I am so grateful for their dedication and hard work.
As we look ahead to the rest of the school year, I am excited about the many opportunities for learning and growth that we have planned for our students. We will be continuing to focus on our core subjects, as well as providing our students with fun activities.
Thank you to all of our parents and guardians for your continued support. We could not do this without you. As always, If you have any questions, Please call our office at (570) 421-2841.
