Thanks for the MEMORIES...

We send special thanks to Ms.Z and Ms. Travis as well as all of our kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade performers for an evening full of music and art!  What a splendid way to welcome winter - thanks for all of the musical memories and the colorful art displays.

Special thanks to the bakers who helped make the evening a wonderful celebration.
We are lucky to live in such a helpful, caring, and talented learning community.
