Our Class Mission

We will come to school to learn and meet new friends. We will be proactive and become better leaders by using the Covey Habits. Our class will have fun, reach out to others, and love with full hearts.

The Spring Fling was a BALL yesterday! A huge thanks to all of the parents who came out. I loved seeing you and was encouraged by the school support from our community. Please see that we will be hosting an Authors Luncheon on May 28th from 11:30 to 1:30. It is my hope that you can come during your lunch break to celebrate our young authors! They will be working hard on books to publish for this special day.
