Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. We had a solid week of teaching and learning. Thank you to Rhea and Carmen for their efforts in organizing Ramadan decorations at the front entrance: they are brilliant!
We want to wish you all a wonderful Eid Al Fitr holiday. Do take the time to rest and recharge for the final five weeks of the school year. We look forward to seeing you all back on May 8th.
Thank you for your continuous support of the middle school.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
