LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Dolphin Families,
The culmination of the week brought us together in a fantastic display of unity and school spirit. Our assembly was nothing short of extraordinary, with classes and staff joining forces in exhilarating relay races. The energy was palpable as grade levels united, showcasing teamwork and camaraderie.
Following the spirited assembly, our students immersed themselves in a carnival-like atmosphere, courtesy of the ingenious creations by our ASB students in the Galleria. These carnival games were not just entertaining; they were a testament to the creativity and dedication of our student body. Witnessing the genuine enjoyment and engagement of all our students was truly heartwarming.
Events like these remind us of the incredible strength and connection within our school community. They serve as a testament to the values we uphold and the bonds we share. Together, we create moments of joy and celebration that resonate far beyond the walls of our school.
Thank you to all who contributed to making this week a resounding success. Your enthusiasm and dedication are what make our school truly exceptional.
Warmly,
Mary Ingraham
