SAFEHOMES PLEDGE

A SAFEHOMES letter has been sent home to all parents of Middle School Children.
Please take the time to read the pledge, review it with your family, sign it, and send it back to the Middle School Office.   This is just one small way to protect our children, and support each other as parents.

Happy New Year

I think the new year really begins in September.  As a child, I would buy new clothes, new shoes and dreamed of meeting new friends in my classroom.  I would even practice my signature, trying to make it unique to express the new me.

Here I am, with three children of my own, and I still have that new year feeling.  Fall is a chance to be a little more organized, be a little more patient, exercise a little more and eat a little better.  A chance to finally be the new me I always wanted to be.

Enjoy the last couple weeks of summer, and enjoy dreaming of all the wonderful new things to come this year.  See you in September!
