A Note From Our Principal

Dear Families,


November has arrived and with that I would like to take each week this month and recognize different groups of people that I am thankful for at school. Marissa, our office secretary, is the glue that holds our school together. Whether she's answering phone calls, helping a student who isn't feeling well, or brightening up the office with her monthly themed trees and festive decorations, she does it all with a warm smile. Thank you, Marissa, for going above and beyond for our students and staff every day. We appreciate you so much!


I would also like to congratulate and recognize our students and employees of the month for October. They demonstrated responsibility daily and are always there for us to count on. Congratulations to Landon C., Dom K., Noelle M., Kaitlynn W., Keagan V., Ava H., Malcolm B., Josie C.M., Samuel W., Jersey D., Abram H., Aurora P., Bethany S., Ellison G., Parker C., Maverick D., Harlee P., TJ A., Corey B., Dezirae S., June L., Skylar M., Miss Doornbos and Ms. Johnston!


Have a wonderful weekend!


Mrs. LaVictor
