Principal's Message
Hello Eagle Families,
Wow! What a tremendous first whole month with students!
First, we would like to thank you all for supporting the Fun Run in any way you could. During the day of October 2nd, students were able to participate in the Fun Run outside on the playground. It was great to see the excitement from students and family that came to support our EFA+ learners. We have surpassed our goal of raising $25,000 with a current total of $33, 965!
Our Fall Festival was a huge success! We can't thank the PTA volunteers enough for all their work to make this memorable experience for the EFA+ families. It was wonderful getting to see so many members of our school community enjoying time together.
We look forward to seeing you all at Fall Conferences on Tuesday, October 15, and Thursday, October 17. Our teachers are excited to visit with you about the progress your child has made already this year.
Kindest regards,
Mr. Mees, Principal
