Principal's Message

What a great week! We got to celebrate our “A” Honor Roll and Lion Pride Award recipients! Basketball had some great games, and the weather got a smudge warmer!


I know that lots of our sweet babies have been under the weather. Just a reminder that we only allow 4 parent notes per semester. If you have concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or your child’s house office.


A few reminders for our 7th/8th grade Valentine’s Dance next Friday…

  • Students must be in dress code

  • Students must have their student ID

  • Tickets will be sold during lunches at the beginning of next week. (see details below)

  • Once a student leaves the dance, they will not be allowed to re-enter the dance


This weekend, we will celebrate my sweet husband’s birthday. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, and we will see everyone on Monday.


Much love,

Melanie Machost
