Principal's Message
Tiger Families,
This week, we had the joy of celebrating our incredible staff for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week! Thank you for your generosity in sending gift cards and Staff Shout Out emails—your support means the world. I feel truly grateful to work alongside such dedicated individuals who always put our students first.
We are still looking for Science Day presenters! If you or someone you know would be interested in sharing their expertise, please reach out. This is a fantastic opportunity for our Tigers to explore a wide range of careers and ignite their curiosity about the world of science.
Have a good weekend! Go Tigers!
