A Message from the Principal

We had an incredible turnout for our Family STEAM Night yesterday evening. Seeing our gym, hallways, and classrooms buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and collaboration was wonderful. From learning about robotics and planting seeds to exploring science experiments, our students engaged in fun hands-on activities.

As a Title I school, we know that education is a team effort. When you show up to build, test, and learn alongside your children, you send a powerful message that their education matters. Your presence, support, and enthusiasm mean the world to our teachers and staff. A special thank you to Amelia Hunter, Matt Mulhern, and Val Carter for planning and organizing this event.

As a reminder, there is no school on May 25^th, May 26^th, and May 27^th. We look forward to seeing our Rams back on Thursday, May 28^th.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Sincerely,

Erika Aspuria

Principal
