Dear Families,
Today we proudly hosted our awards ceremony, celebrating the outstanding achievements of our students. It was a joy to recognize their hard work and dedication alongside their families. Congratulations to all our award recipients.
As we step into the third week of October, the energy around school is buzzing with excitement and learning. We’re especially looking forward to Family Night on Thursday, October 23, a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate our community, and enjoy an evening of connection and fun. We hope to see you there!
As always, we continue to encourage our students to make thoughtful choices throughout the day. This includes respecting shared spaces, whether it's the classroom or hallways or in the community and being mindful of how their actions affect others. These small decisions help build a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Wishing you a restful weekend ahead!
