Lion's Link #lionpride

Dear Parents and Community Members,

Happy Friday! I can’t believe it, but as of today we are down to 55 school days left in the year. Time just keeps going by faster and faster! As I’m sure you are aware, this time of year is extremely busy with lots of different activities: school sports, non-school sports, testing, college visits… you name it, it probably happens this time of year. While the crazy schedules might become overwhelming at times, it is also an indicator that spring and the end of the school year is almost here. Please help me in encouraging your student to keep pushing through to the end – they are so close!!

Just a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, February 19 in observance of Presidents’ Day. Students will resume school on Tuesday, February 20. Please continue sending coats with your student if they are recess age. If you need help obtaining a coat please reach out to the office and we can assist you with this need.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open and I am always willing to help however I can. Stay safe and warm out there!

Sincerely,

Kyla Kirtley

Principal
