Kessler Community,

We had a packed four day week at Kessler School. Students are wrapping up their fall benchmark assessments, diving into tier 1 curriculum, and settling into their new schedules. The atmosphere here is so positive and I cannot wait to see what this crew accomplishes this year.

This Sunday is Carnival Classic at HELENA MIDDLE SCHOOL. I hope to see you all there.

Have the best weekend,

Riley Thatcher, Principal
