Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s News and Views. We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It was a short week, and we took advantage of it by asking students to identify their peers who upheld the Core Values daily. This is a massive award for the winners because it is not just teachers who recognize them; it is other students as well.
Congratulations to all our students.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
