Principal’s Message:Staff and students were in awe as they viewed the solar eclipse this week among their classmates. Thanks again to our PTO for funding the purchase of glasses for every student and staff member. Students will get to learn more about stars and space at an upcoming assembly later this month. We have invited in a mobile planetarium for all students to experience during their specials time on April 25th. |
