Happy Friday!
Our 5th graders had a blast during today's 5th Grade Farewell! Thank you to our PTA co-chairs, Bridget McKernan and Komal Shakor, many committee chairs and countless parent volunteers for making today's festivities happen!
This Memorial Day, it's important for us to take a moment to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their service and dedication ensure the freedoms we cherish today. Thank you to the May Watts family members who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Have a great weekend!
