As we approach the Christmas break, I want to express my gratitude for the support and collaboration we've shared this year. This season is a wonderful opportunity for community togetherness and reflection on the obstacles we’ve overcome together.

I encourage everyone to take this time for family, rest, and relaxation. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, enjoying festive traditions, or simply unwinding, let’s embrace this chance to rejuvenate and reconnect.

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season!

I hope to see you at some of our upcoming holiday events!

Thursday - Band Strings Concert 6:30 pm

Friday - Holiday Choral Concert 9:00 am

Pre-K welcomed three new friends this week. Our kindness elves also arrived and we are busy spreading joy to those in our school and community.

Kinders have been in a festive mood! Kindergarten went caroling and spreading joy at the central office, mast store, and the Foley Center. They also joined first grade at the Appalachian theatre to watch, “The Polar Express”

First has been feeling festive!
