Tonight we hosted our Open House. Parents and families were able to visit their child's classroom to see what they've been learning, purchase spirit shirts, grab a free book from The Center for Literacy and Learning's Family Engagement Program, meet our Student Services team, and have a slice of pizza! It was a huge success and we are so happy to have our families visit our school. Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to order spirit shirts before the order is placed... so get that order in.

The August Student of the Month "Lunch with the Principal" event took place today. The students enjoyed a special lunch of pizza, potato wedges, beans, salad, and fruit with Mrs. Jefferson. They were also treated to some special snacks, a folder of goodies, and cup full of treats. We are so proud of each student who earned Student of the Month for August.
