PTA President's Letter / March 2010

 

 Wow! What a winter we have had!  We have had our share of snow.., snow men, snow tubing, snow angels, skiing, snowboarding, shoveling, and snow days!  Now I am ready for some warmer weather!  Although, snow days are a great time to cuddle up with our children and stay in our PJ’s we must get back into the swing of things in school.  March is chock full of fun family events, testing and preparation.  We can look ahead to Spring Break right around the corner but we have to help to get our children back into the busy routine of school. The Month of March is one of the busiest and most important times for the PTA as well. 

Principal's Letter / March 2010

Dear Parents/Guardians,

It is hard to believe that we are six months into the school year.  Even harder to imagine is that my first year as your principal is going so quickly.  What an adventure it has been for me.  So many wonderful experiences and so many more to come.
