A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween activities at school and has a great time tonight. I saw some very fun activities in several classrooms this week. Now that we are in November (tomorrow) I would like to take each week this month and recognize different groups of people that I am thankful for at school. Marissa, our office secretary, goes above and beyond each and every day. From answering phone calls to helping students who are sick and everything in between, she is the glue that keeps our school together. I would be lost without her. Thank you, Marissa, for every single thing you do for all of us! We are so incredibly thankful for you.
I would also like to congratulate and recognize our students and employees of the month for October. They demonstrated responsibility daily and are always there for us to count on. Congratulations to Jaylynn A., Samuel W., Ava B., Andrew W.H., Richard F., Avery O., Hunter B., Kinzly W., Morraine P., Thea P., Gavin B., Dezrey A., Natalie W., Gage F., Daniel S.T., JD T., Parker L., Landyn S.T., Faith D., Sareigh V., Rosemari H., Chance B., Mr. Mike, Mrs. Rockafellow and Jimmy!
Happy Thursday!
Mrs. LaVictor

Could Be Halloween
Yowling, prowling, growling cat
Why do you switch your tail like that?
Why do your eyes flash gold and green?
Could be--must be--Halloween!
Slinky, inky, blinky cat,
Why do you arch your back like that?
What scary creatures have you seen?
Could be--must be- Halloween!
