A Message from the Principal

Have you read the entire Friday Flier lately? Do you examine its many pages of excellent  reporting, creative writing, and illustration? Please look beyond my article. I’m the boring part here. This newspaper has become a centerpiece to celebrate the achievements of our students. I am amazed by the number of submissions each week. Even though I cannot share them all, I hope you all appreciate the talent and effort which permeates our student body. I am proud to be their principal, and you are very, very lucky to be their parents. If you know one of my many journalists, thank them for their efforts today!
