As we reach the midpoint of the school year, I want to thank you for your continued partnership.

Your support is what makes our community thrive.

February is a month of connection, reflection, and celebration. They say February is the shortest month, but in an elementary school, it is often one of the most vibrant!

This month, our theme is "Kindness in Action". Be the one to include a lonely peer, help a teacher, or share a kind word.


Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the front office if you ever have any questions or concerns (570) 421-2841.
