NEWS FROM DR. COOPER
Dear Families,
Thank you to everyone who has sent in shoeboxes for our Student Council drive. We collected 51 gifts for families in need.
Can you believe we are just one week away from Winter Break? There is no school Monday, December 22nd-Monday, January 5th. We hope your family enjoys their time together over the break.
Second quarter report cards will be sent home on Friday, January 9th.
Enjoy the weekend,
Dr. Tara Cooper
