We appreciate all you do to make our school a great place to learn and grow!
Sincerely,
Dear Families,
On November 15th, our 4th and 5th graders had the incredible opportunity to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Students engaged deeply with exhibits that highlighted the rich history, culture, and contributions of African Americans. The experience was both educational and inspiring, providing meaningful connections to our classroom learning.
Thank you for your support in making this enriching field trip possible!
