Dear Dragons,

A big congratulations to our Science Olympiad team for their outstanding performance this past weekend! Their hard work and dedication, guided by Ms. Ariel, truly shone as they showcased their incredible engineering skills. We are so proud of you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Learning Under the Stars on November 14th, an evening designed for our PreK–2nd graders and their families. We appreciate the many teachers who volunteered their time to demonstrate ways for parents to support learning in Language Arts and Math at home. Your partnership means so much to us!

We are also thrilled to announce the formation of our newly chartered Parent Teacher Association (PTA)! Please join us in congratulating the PTA board:

• Jonathan Barrera, President
• Britt Williams, Kristy DiOrio, and Jessica Molina, Co-Vice Presidents
• Nigel Walker and Geraldine Bundell, Co-Treasurers
• Nathan Whitmer, Secretary

The PTA offers a fantastic opportunity to stay connected and involved in our school community. We hope you will all become members! Congratulations to our new board, and thank you for your leadership!

Thank you for always partnering, 

Kate Beckner

Proud Principal
