Our theme this year is "Choose to make a Difference," and this term we are focusing on being "Helpful." Each week during the month our teachers have picked out a student in their class that they see being helpful here at school.  Make sure to look at all of the pictures for the month of February, showing all of our students of the week being helpful.

Congratulations Mrs. Jones! She is pictured here with her husband Paul who wrote a touching tribute that is attached as well.
