Principal's Message
Firecracker Families,
Above any gifts we could receive this holiday season, we most appreciate your support and understanding as we provide the best educational opportunities we can to our Firecrackers. I'm so proud of the work our staff does for our students every day. If you feel so inclined, a note of gratitude to your child's favorite teacher or staff member would be welcome!
Always,
Dr. Stephanie Manley
