I would like to send a huge shoutout to our students who participated in the “Evolution of Black Entertainment.” It was an outstanding performance. I would also like to say thank you to our enrichment team for working so diligently with the students. You are greatly appreciated!
SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKER WEEK
It’s national school social worker week and we would like to recognize Ms. Bryant for the huge contribution she has made to our entire school community. She has worked diligently to address barriers to learning, support mental health, increase academic outcomes and attendance. She has also work diligently to secure food donations for backpack buddies, start a clothes closet and lead angel tree donations. We are very thankful for her leadership.
