Principal’s Update & Important Dates
It’s hard to to imagine that we only have about four weeks of school left this year!
We’ve had an exciting week in LaunchED with the arrival of our baby chickens (if you haven’t watched the live feed, you can see the info below). At its highest, we had almost 1800 viewers from around our school and beyond watching these baby chickens hatch. Our kinder and first grade students have been especially excited as they have been learning about the life cycle of a chicken.
We hope you all enjoy the three day weekend!
