Firefly Families,

We are so proud of our 3rd grade Fireflies for shining bright during the Veteran's Day program held earlier this week. It was a heartfelt experience to honor the incredible service and sacrifices of our Veterans. A thank you to all of our families and Veterans who attended the program. Your support means so much to us and serves as a beautiful reminder of the importance of gratitude and unity.

Thank you for your outstanding support with the shifts in arrival procedures. Your efforts have made a tremendous difference, ensuring a smoother and more efficient start to the school day. Because of your cooperation and commitments, nearly ALL students who enter through the front doors are now in the building before the bell rings, ready to begin their day of learning. Keep your strong routines.

As always, we encourage you to continue prioritizing attendance and engagement. We love seeing our Fireflies shine bright in our classrooms. Every day counts and every moment matters!

A reminder about family movie night, TONIGHT! We look forward to welcoming our Firefly families back on campus for an evening of fun.

Filled with Firefly Pride,

Carla
