  • From the Desk of our Principal: "We are going to have another spirit day this coming Friday. Students and staff, you've both been working really hard the past 9 weeks, and to celebrate the end of the first quarter, we are going to have Wear Your Favorite Lazy Clothes to School Day. You decide what is your most favorite lazy outfit - which could be sweatpants and a sweatshirt or your pajamas - and wear them to school on Friday. We only ask that you do respect our learning environment, and make sure that you complete your normal morning hygiene routine. We don't want you to be so lazy that you forget to take care of yourself before coming to school on Friday."
