Message from Mrs. Moretz
Dear Bobcat Families,
Every month, I find myself saying how quickly the school year is flying by, and this month is no exception! It’s hard to believe that the third nine weeks will come to a close this Friday, and we’ll be heading into the final quarter of the year.
The past few weeks have certainly brought their fair share of challenges—flooding, snow, illness, and time away from school have tested us all. I truly appreciate your patience and support as we’ve navigated these disruptions. I know that balancing work and home life while managing school closures is no easy task.
As we enter the last stretch of the school year, our students have so much to look forward to! This is a time of growth, achievement, and celebration, and I encourage everyone to stay engaged and finish the year strong.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Moretz
