Happy Friday!
Great Job at the Hawk Run today! It was so fun cheering on our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders!! A big thank you to Coach Menley, our PTO, and all the volunteers for their help in making the Hawk Run successful!
As we get into Fall and the weather gets cooler, we will continue to have outdoor recess. Please send your student with a jacket.
