"I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day." (The Temptations)
Dear Wildcat Families,
Spring has arrived! As the grass gets greener, the flowers begin to emerge from the ground, and birds chirp in the morning, we welcome spring. With each passing days, we notice the beautiful changes around us as the world awakens from the winter slumber.
Staff eagerly welcomed students back after break, and quickly returned to the regular rhythm of our school days. Spring Picture Day was a huge success, and students all looked wonderful in their colorful, unique outfits. These definitely will be photos to cherish for years to come.
As the year begins to wind down, we are in finalizing plans for a spectacular send off to HMS. Exciting events await students in May.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
All the best,
Mrs. Sara Leone, Interim Principal

Students are learning the fundamentals of volleyball with Ms. Gallo in PE. As students improve upon their skills, they move from using a large beach ball to a standard volleyball.
Social Media Usage
Social media has become so embedded in our lives, that sometimes it is hard to remember life before social media. While there are clear benefits of staying connected with family and friends, social media also poses some challenges for our young people. Recently, social media has caused some of our students some anguish. It is important for parents and guardians to monitor social media usage and postings of children.
