📚🍎 Happy National Principals Day!

Today we celebrate the incredible leaders who help keep our schools running smoothly each and every day. Thank you, Dr. Kraemer and Dr. Lunz, for your dedication, leadership, and constant support of our students, staff, and families.

We also want to give a big thank you to Mrs. Lowe for stepping in whenever she’s needed. Your support and flexibility mean so much to our schools!

We truly appreciate everything you do to make our schools a great place to learn and grow! 👏

Happy Earth Day from Mrs. Barbeau’s kindergarten class! We celebrated yesterday by talking about ways to keep our planet healthy and by predicting and experimenting with what would happen in an oil spill. Last Friday, we planted a lawn village and watched our grass grow. We topped off the day with an Earthy treat and had dirt cups. We are officially planet protectors!🌎
