THE LION'S ROAR!
January 12, 2024
FROM OUR PRIDE LEADER
Dear Norris Community,
We did it! We made it to the end of another amazing school year! Thank you so much for sharing your students with us this year. We had a wonderful time teaching them, learning alongside of them, and watching them grow!
We appreciate all of your support and partnership throughout the school year. We hope to see many of you at Norris this summer for Summer Library on Fridays in June, and some familiar faces around MPS for Summer School and many Millard activities available.
Take some time to rest, recharge, and enjoy your kids- the 24-25 school year will be here before you know it!
Have a GREAT summer!
Mrs. Dolezal, Principal
