The Final Week
We are about to close out another school year and once again, I am so proud of all that we have collectively accomplished as a school community.
Over the past 185 days our students and staff have fundraised for local charities to impacted our community, made growth on benchmark tests, celebrated our classmates at pep rallies, were redesignated as a National School To Watch, built an inclusive playground that students will enjoy for years to come, improved our state report card rating,, cheered on our athletic teams and so much more!
None of these accomplishments would be possible without our dedicated staff who consistently invest in the lives of our students. This coupled with the support of our PTSA, SIC, parents and community members, enables our staff to provide the best educational experience for our students.
We wish our 8th grade students the best as they move on to high school. We know that they are ready for this next step and can’t wait to hear about all their accomplishments.
For our returning students, we cannot wait to welcome you back in August for another amazing school year!
We are wishing everyone a summer full of fun, relaxation and time with family and friends.
