Queridas familias,
As we approach Thanksgiving Day and we reflect on the aspects of our lives that we are thankful for, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to you all for your ongoing support and for always supporting your students to continue their success. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving Giving weekend. Please remember that there is no school on Monday October 14.

Our student patrollers have been hard at work training for patrolling pedestrians in the morning before school and at dismissal time. Please be on the lookout for our students in the crosswalk by the playground.
