A Thought from Principal Mayer
Thank you to all who attended the Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday. This is so important to the growth and improvement of our scholars. If you did not get a chance to meet with your scholar's teacher, please reach out to them and make an appoinment soon.
We hope you all enjoyed our Hispanic Heritage celebration on Thursday. We had a terrific time, good food and fun was had by all. We hope to have similar family events in the future. We would also like to thank La Hacendia in Lawrence for providing food and sponsorship for the event. If you don't feel like cooking, go to La Hacendia in Lawrence and thank them for their sponsorship by having dinner at the restaurant.
Finally, today is our last day before Fall Break. We wish everyone a restful and peaceful break. Use this time for scholars to catch up on the much needed rest to be successful in school. We will see you all on Monday, October 23rd.
Have a Great Break!!
