Good morning,

Students' first day of school!

As we kick off the new school year, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our students and families. As an educator your leadership and vision set the tone for a positive and enriching educational experience, and I am confident that this year will be one of growth, learning, and success.

Welcoming students and their families back to school is always a special time, filled with anticipation and excitement. Your efforts in creating a warm and inclusive environment are crucial in helping everyone feel valued and supported from day one. By fostering strong relationships, encouraging collaboration, and maintaining high standards, you are laying the foundation for a year of achievement and progress.

Thank you for all you do to inspire and guide our school community. Here’s to a fantastic start to the school year and to making a meaningful impact on the lives of our students.

May God bless you and keep you throughout this school year. Blessings on a joyous start-up as you welcome students back to school. Wishing you all a successful and rewarding year ahead!

Kathleen Finnigan, Superintendent

Bringing awareness and education to the community!

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that is often misdiagnosed and affects approximately 1 in 2000 people.

Our daughter Rosa was diagnosed in September of 2023.

This has been a journey of tears and smiles and a recognition that there needs to be better awareness of sleep disorders.

It is our hope to raise the level of understanding in the community through guest speakers from our sponsor wakeupnarcolepsy.org and to raise funds to increase education and help those persons living with Narcolepsy or Idiopathic hypersomnia.
