Sunday Bulletin:
Good evening Beavers! This is Ms. Moose for Principal Hogans with some notes for this week.
- We hope each of you has had a great break and an even better return to school last week. Thank you for the gifts and cards prior to Winter Break. Thank you also for your support of Operation Hope! It was very nice to reflect on the appreciation of our community during the holiday season as we return to close out the second quarter and begin the third quarter in just over a week.
- Speaking of the community, the PTO is scheduled to meet tomorrow evening. We hope each of you will be able to join us as we continue to work together on support projects and plan future events for the year.
That is all for now. And remember: it is with your help we ‘bridge’ home and school for our students!
