Welcome Back

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break spending time with friends and family.  It is hard to believe that we are just a couple of weeks away from Christmas Break!  What a great job our Fine Arts students did on Tuesday night at their recital.  They did a great job and I am very proud of all of our students.

Please bring in canned food items tomorrow.  As of right now we have 732 cans and our goal is 1,000.  If we reach our goal the students will help families in need of food for the holidays.
