Welcome to the 2012-13 School Year!

Welcome everyone to a brand new school year of learning and growing.  We had a great first day with our new team!  I was very happy to see our new students and returning student working together to form a new classroom community.  We gathered with the whole school in the gym today and met our wonderful new principal Mr. Legree.  It was fun listening to the big cheers when he introduced all the school staff.  Do you remember one expectation, goal or hope that Mr. Legree shared with our school?  I hope you do and share it with your families at home.  I know that we are going to have an amazing year of learning and growing together!
