Message from Mrs. Antoniello
November flew by. The Kindergarten and First Grade Students enjoyed their feasts. Our Annual Kindergarten Parade was AMAZING and so much fun. Thank you to our Kindergarten and First Grade teachers who work really hard to make these special memories for our students. We will have spirit days the week of December 16-20. We are excited for our winter parties. As a reminder, please see the party guidelines here.
