Message From the Principal
Welcome back, it was great to return to the
school and listen to all the stories the students
shared about their Spring Break adventures. We
were also very lucky to have beautiful weather
for our Track Attack. Track Attack offers
students in grades 3-7 a chance to get ready for
and learn about all the track and field events.
We will also be starting a run club for students
in grades 3-7.
The library began its transformation to our new
Learning Commons. We have added a new set
of IPad minis, projection screen and projector.
We are looking forward to the new furniture
arriving soon.
Our Vaisakhi Assembly is on April 15th at
1:00 in the afternoon. We are looking forward
to the entertainment and all the festivities. We
hope that many of you will join us.
Ms. J. Kennett
