Principal’s Message Fall is here!!! The leaves are changing and winter will be here before we know it. Students have settled in and are well on their way to learning new things each day. You can help your child be successful in school by ensuring they are on time each day (school begins at 7:45am each morning). Also, please limit the number of times you check out your child. Our Cookie Dough Sale and Fall Festival were both a success. We sold approximately $15,000 worth of cookie dough and raised over $4,600 at the fall festival. The money raised will be used to help our students and staff. I am always here to help. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me. Thank you so much for your continued support! ~Shayla Savage~
