Message from Principal Thompson

Stallion Families,

I hope your students enjoyed their last week and celebrations with their classes as much as we did! The laughter and joy throughout the halls this week has been tangible. Our 3rd-5th grade students did a phenomenal job on their ACP tests, and we are proud of their leadership in handling the challenges of testing online.

These next few weeks, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful, relaxing holiday break full of love and quality time. We will miss our stallions and look forward to great new year in 2022! Happy holidays and happy new year.

Stallion Strong,

Principal Thompson
