Letterland Parade

Thank you to all the students, staff, family members, and special guests who joined us for our kindergarten Letterland parade on Wednesday. I think all of our kindergarten Letterlanders had as much fun as me (Principal Evans)!

Reflections Winners

Congratulations to all of our students who won awards in the PTA Reflections Program! We had students submit entries in categories including visual arts, literature, and photography. All the submissions were AMAZING! We are SO proud of our Sailors and their hard work. The top two winners in each category will now move on to the county level judging. While we are not publicizing our winners' names here because this newsletter is on the internet, we will be recognizing our students on the Morning Wave news program at school. Thank you to our fantastic judges, Mrs. Nagy, Mrs. Weber, and Mrs. Huffman for giving their own time to judge each submission. All the submissions will be on display at our upcoming School International Night on March 13th.
