May 2025
From the Desk of Mrs. Schrag,
What an incredible school year it has been! As we near the end, I’m filled with pride reflecting on the tremendous growth we’ve seen in our students—academically, socially, and emotionally. They have truly risen to the challenge and shown what it means to work hard, care for others, and persevere.
I encourage you to ask your child about their STAR goal—what it means to them and how they've grown through it. These goals have helped guide our students in staying focused, motivated, and proud of their progress.
Let’s finish strong together! Thank you for your continued partnership and support—our school community is stronger because of you.
Thank you,
Mrs. Schrag
Principal
