From the Principal:

Dear Families,


This morning we had our walking field trip to Christ Church to visit our “safe spot.” We went in two groups, grades K-2 followed by grades 3-5. Fire and Police workers walked with us and we couldn’t have had nicer weather. The students were wonderful. Please check in with your child (ren) this evening about the walk.


Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Warmly,

Juliana
