Dear Families,
We have begun the wind down to the school year. End of year events began with the 5th grade Dare Graduation and the Community Celebration. Next week is the All District 5th grade Field Day and Fly Up Day at school. The final Eagle's Nest is being put together and once again, I am surprised by how quickly the year has gone.
We are accepting applications for the 2018-2019 school year at this time.
