November 13 - 17, 2017

Together, we can.  Together, we will!

Bears,

Excuse me - I mustache you a question.  Are we having fun yet?  Our dedicated and extremely hardworking staff members know how to put the learning pedal-to-the-metal while keeping it fun.  We know you can't please all people all the time, but I'm happy to say that as I walk around the school and visit class rooms, the vast majority of students and staff are smiling and enjoying what they do.  I tend to think happiness is more a decision than a by-product, but either way...staff, whatever you are doing to keep yourselves smiling and motivated, keep doing it!  Our students deserve it.

We are back to a full week this upcoming week. As impossible as it seems, Thanksgiving is just beyond this set of Monday through Fridays.
