Principal's Message
Dear Allenwood Families,
March is a fantastic month for learning! With no scheduled breaks in the calendar, it provides the perfect opportunity for students to focus on their academics and make great strides in their education. We encourage all students to stay engaged, work hard, and continue building their skills. I also want to thank our school community for supporting our Kids Heart Challenge. We have achieved our Principal Challenge goal, which means that our physical education teachers will receive an additional $500.00 for new equipment!
