Celebrations from the Week

Ms. Lockett and our fifth-grade students presented their annual Black History Wax Museum. It was inspiring to watch the students’ hard work come to life and to see so many parents come support them. Thank you to everyone who attended and encouraged the students — your presence made the event even more special.
We have begun our One School, One Book program with Cleo: Playground Millionaire. Students are excited about the story and have begun answering trivia questions during the morning announcements — it’s a joy to hear their enthusiasm and curiosity each day.

Thank you for supporting student participation in events and for encouraging reading at home. These moments build pride and community for our learners.

Additional Information

If you need assistance scheduling a conference or have questions after receiving the confirmation sheet, please contact the front office or your child’s teacher and we will help you find a convenient time.

We are grateful for your ongoing support in helping our school community thrive. Your involvement makes a meaningful difference.

Warmly,

Ms. Prather
Interim Principal
