Note from the Principal
Thank you for your patience with this week's newsletter. If you have not already seen the COVID-19 update letter sent out this afternoon, please check your email and let me know if you have any questions. As always, thank you for your partnership in keeping your child home when sick, encouraging good hygiene practices, and getting tested as needed. We will continue to pray for the end of this pandemic and the health and safety of all in our community.
A HUGE thank you to the HSA for an amazing Trunk or Treat event. It was a wonderful time!
