A Note From Our Principal,
Thank you for your continued participation in our Kids Helping Communities initiative this summer! We are still collecting donations and we are grateful for the opportunity to watch our students serve others these past few weeks and appreciate the role you all had in this.
We still have a few more weeks of summer and our teachers are hard at work preparing our classrooms for the new school year. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns in the interim.
Sincerely,
Karma Hill

Summer Camp Survey
Thank you for trusting us with your children during this peculiar summer. The children have been amazing and the parents have been understanding and appreciative, for that we thank you! We will be reaching out to camp families in the next few weeks to gather feedback on our summer camp program. The survey will be sent via email and we’d love for all camp parents to participate so we can celebrate our successes and make plans to improve our camp program next summer. Please keep an eye out for the survey!

End of Summer Classroom Celebrations
On August 27th students will be celebrating the end of summer with music, themed crafts and an afternoon treat in their assigned classrooms. Please encourage your child to wear their favorite summer outfit or a brightly colored t-shirt. We will take lots of photos of each class and distribute them through the Links 2 Home app.
