Message from the Principal This is Teacher Appreciation Week and I would like to recognize all of the work that our dedicated, talented and caring staff have provided during this challenging year. I can't imagine leading a better staff. I am truly humbled and grateful for all that they do each and every day! A special thanks to our amazing PTO for celebrating our staff in a number of different ways throughout the week. The emails, kind notes and tokens of appreciation that students and parents have been sending to our teachers during this special week are truly day brighteners! Warmly, Mary McKasy
