Principal's Message
Dear Copper Beech Families,
Thank you so much for another fabulous week at Copper Beech. It was so wonderful to see so many families at our 3rd through 5th Grade Open House this past Wednesday. A special thank you goes to our wonderful PTA for their communication to families and another successful CB Spirit Wear sale at our Open House. Words cannot express how proud and grateful I am to be a part of this amazing CB team!
Best regards,
Ms. Stokes
