Safford PreK-8 Community School
Family Newsletter May
Hello Huskies,
We made it! Testing is passed. School is winding down. We are looking forward to next year.
Be sure to get your registration completed for next year and invite a friend. Safford is a great place to grow and wouldn't you love to have more of your family and friends join you on the journey.
The promotion ceremonies are coming up quickly. Be sure to plan a great party for those PreK moving to 1st, 5th moving to Middle School and 8th moving to High School. These milestones are precious. Be sure to share with all that you love, because there is nothing better than the smile of the student when they see that special person celebrating for their success.
Safford is a great campus, and the reason is all of you. It takes a Village to raise a child, and it take a community of dedicated people to support our children. Thank you for being there for all of our Huskies.
