Message from the Principal We are looking forward to having our third, fourth and fifth grade students participate in a community service project. Thanks to our PTO for planning, preparing and sponsoring this Kindness Club activity which allows our students to create spring flowers for our senior citizens living in a local senior center. We hope this brings joy and happiness to some of our community members during this challenging year.
Warmly, Mary McKasy
