Our theme for this semester if “Finish Strong”. This not only applies to our teachers and staff but also to our students. Your continued support is required to help us accomplish this goal. As you know, we have very high expectations for our students and nothing less than their best is acceptable. Also, I’d like to personally invite you to our “2014 Parent Appreciation Night” which will take place here at our campus the 3rd Tuesday in May. You will receive more information in the May newsletter, but please mark your calendars NOW. We want to show our gratitude for your great support this year! Also please note all the cool things happening this month.
