JANUARY NEWSLETTER
A Note From Our Principal,
We are overjoyed at the response from you all in support of our Holiday Giving activities! We collected 40 jackets for Warm Packs and have over 4 boxes filled with donated Books for our Tree House Book Donations (Book Donations will be held till January 31st). As we move into the new year we look forward to spending more time getting to know your family and building a community together.
Need a school communications refresher after the busy holiday season? This month’s newsletter has details on how you can stay involved in your child’s learning, receive memorable photos, be aware of holidays and closures and prepare for the season ahead.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Sincerely,
Kerry Depka
