A Message from the Principal

It is hard to believe we are already in the month of March. February passed all too soon; March came in even faster. Spring is already in the air as we make adjustments to weather trends that we should not be seeing until later in the month.

We just had our Academic All-Stars celebration for the end of the second quarter. We recognized over ninety-five of our 6-8 graders for being on the Honor Roll (3.00 to 3.49) and/or the Principal’s List (3.50 to 4.00). Several students were also recognized for having a 4.00 GPA.

Earlier in the week, our kindergarten classes participated in a parade organized by their teachers, Mrs. Thomason and Mrs. Drexler, to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Their enthusiasm showed with each step they took, and could only be matched by the broad smiles on their faces.

Thanks,
Karl Newsome
