Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for our 4 th grade student who tragically passed away this past weekend.

We care very much for the children that we are so fortunate to be around each day and we appreciate your trust that we will do all we can to ensure their well-being. I will make sure to pass along any arrangements as soon as we get them.
