Principal's Message
I’m especially looking forward to our Kindergarten Spring Mini Concert on Tuesday! Our youngest learners always bring so much joy (and cuteness!) to the stage, and it’s a wonderful celebration of their hard work.
I would also like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms and caregivers in our community. We hope you feel celebrated and appreciated this weekend.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support
Warmly,
Kolby Snellenberger
Principal
