Dear Families,
We made it through Halloween week—costumes, candy, and all! Thank you for helping make our fall festivities such a fun and memorable time for our students. As we move into November, our focus turns to gratitude, kindness, and continuing strong learning as the semester moves forward.
This month brings opportunities to reflect on all we’re thankful for—our wonderful students, supportive families, and dedicated staff who make our school community so special. As we enter the season of thankfulness, we invite you to take a moment to share what you appreciate about our amazing staff! Whether it's your child's teacher, a support staff member, or anyone who has made a difference, your kind words mean so much. Please take a minute to complete this short Google Form to let us know who you are thankful for and why. Your messages will be shared with staff to spread a little extra joy and gratitude this season.
We look forward to a month filled with learning, laughter, and meaningful moments together.
With Appreciation,
Mrs. Duncan, Principal
