Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
We want to express our gratitude for your continued support of our school and our students. Your partnership has been instrumental in creating memorable learning experiences for our students.
We recently had the privilege of taking two fantastic field trips. Last week, our 8th-grade students embarked on an educational journey to Washington D.C., while our 7th-grade students visited the Veterans Memorial Museum in Columbus. These trips not only enriched our students' understanding of history and civics but also perfectly aligned with our upcoming school mock election tomorrow and our Veterans Day celebration.
We extend a special thank you to all the parent chaperones who generously volunteered their time to accompany our students on these trips, especially those who traveled to Washington D.C. Your dedication and support made these experiences possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your commitment to our students' education.
Thank you again for your ongoing support.
Mr. Kevin L. Freeman Sr.
Principal
Turkey Challenge
Please join us to reach our goal to donate 100 turkeys to New Albany families! Our students are raising money for the New Albany Food Pantry Thanksgiving Turkey Drive! For every $1.00 donated equals $4.50 of food for the pantry and for every $17.90 we raise, we can donate a 10 pound turkey to a family in need.
