Anticipation!!

 Dear Scholars,

Welcome to the new school year!  I am looking forward to meeting you and your parents. I have some great things planned for this school year.  We are going to be busy working, learning and growing together.  Stay focused, committed, and positive; these skills will be the key to having a successful school year. 

Remember that school starts this Wednesday, 8-11:30. On Thursday and Friday we will follow a full day schedule, 8:00 to 3:00.  Most of your parents will be dropping off supplies this evening (4:00 p.m.-6:00p.m.) for the Colts Corral event.  If parents are unable to attend, don't worry, you can bring your school supplies on Wednesday. 

I hope that you and your parents are looking forward to the first day of school as much as I am!

Sincerely,

Mrs. K. Miller
