Thank you to all that joined the PTO this year! We collected $160 in dues and those have been returned to the teachers!!!

Note from Mrs. Simpson: I want every teacher, staff member, and student to push themselves as an individual to learn and grow as we strengthen our collaborative efforts for success! There is abundant talent and passion for education on this campus, and this year we will come together to build a cohesive, vertically aligned, and strong team to support student progress!
