A Message from Principal Smith
Parents,
Our first social kicked off this week for 6th grade, and it was pure joy to see students engage in some fun activities. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible. Collaborating and partnering with parents is a must as it ensures success for all students. I was able to attend our first student council meeting this week led by Mrs. Peacher, and I am so proud to see students demonstrating their leadership and problem solving skills. Thank you for what you do at home.
Have an amazing weekend!

Rosh Hashanah Evening of September 22nd - September 24th:
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, also known as the "head of the year," and marks the anniversary of the world's creation. Celebrated with prayer, festive meals of sweet foods like apples and honey, and the blowing of a shofar (ram's horn), it is a time for introspection, repentance, and making positive resolutions for the year ahead. It is the start of the Days of Awe, a 10-day period of soul-searching that ends with Yom Kippur.
