It was a great first week. 7th and 8th graders had some awesome team building activities on the first day. There was no rain during recess. The students were amazing. The staff was amazing. Students were reading and writing and learning Math and Science and Social Studies and music and Spanish and PE and Art and all sorts of other things, too. Most of all, we started out the year helping our students get into the routines that will help make them successful for the school year. Thanks for your support this first week and I look forward to an awesome year!

In order to try to introduce our staff to you, we have shared a little bit about ourselves in 30-second increments in the flipgrid video found below. This will also be a link on my webpage and will be shared again next week as well as the first week of school. If the link below doesn't work for you, please click on this link.
