Great job with our Secure drill: This morning our students practice a secure drill. We practice our secure drill in case there is a threat in the surrounding community. All the classrooms did a great job during the drill. We appreciate the efforts of all of students and staff in helping us practice these important drills. Thank you for showing we are a caring community.
Awesome job 3rd and 4th graders with their Musical: On Thursday, our 3rd and 4th grade students performed their musical Kid Flix. It was so great to see all perform after working so hard these past couple of months preparing. The songs were fantastic! A big shout out goes out to our amazing music teacher Mr. Cumming for all his effort in preparing and make this performance great!
