May Memo
Dear Parents,
As we close out the 2007-2008 school year, I would like to thank you for your continued support and time that you have freely given our school. My hat also goes off to our PTA Executive Board for all of the endless hours of work they have put in this year and lastly to our students for remaining focused and achieving great strides throughout the year.
At the end of the school year, we will lose some staff members due to moving or to pursue other personal goals. We wish them the best in their future endeavors. Listed below, to this date, please find a brief description of the newly hired staff members for the 2008-2009 school year.
