Stallion Families,

This has been a great week of learning for all of our students! Our teachers are going above and beyond, collaborating and planning strategically to ensure high quality instruction for every one of our stallions. Each week I continue to be in awe of their commitment to excellence!

Next week we are excited to begin our virtual book fair, organized by the wonderful Ms. Pattillo. We look forward to a wonderful week of learning and remember to stay Stallion Strong!
