We have completed the first week back from Christmas Break. This time has been filled with praying, relearning procedures, and recalling our academic levels. Kindness is rampant throughout the building. Thank you for developing the characteristics of kindness to others. We welcomed new staff and students to our community with open arms this week. As I walked through the building each day I saw many supportive and caring interactions. We begin NWEA, WIDA, and ACRE assessments next week. Please ensure that your child is rested and ready to learn. We will do the rest. Remember we offer free breakfast and lunch for all students.
Please pray for our sub and alumni parent, Fred Green. He is back in the hospital and needs our prayers for healing.
