After a stretch of snowy weather, we are looking forward to sunnier days ahead! With warmer weather on the horizon and several fun events coming up, there is a lot of excitement building at school.
Our students are excited to be back in the building, reconnecting with friends and teachers, and getting back into their daily routines. We are grateful for the flexibility and support our families have shown during recent weather-related changes. Thank you for being such a supportive school community.
For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis
