Administration Note

Dear Parents, 

We had a full week of learning and various activities. Bingo Night was as usual a fun and engaging evening.  Thanks to the PTA for supporting - Ms. Densham and Ms. Orellana for making it happen!  We also appreciate the prizes donated by the families. 

We also had the Best Buddies Walk this weekend.  Our staff and students had a wonderful time. We appreciate all of the support for our students.  The community that has been built through the relatonships are so meaningful. 

Check out the updated end of year dates below.  We have adjusted Field Day to Friday, June 12 and have included a link to volunteer.  We hope to have as many volunteers as possible. 

Warmly,
