We had our first Campus Culture Committee meeting of the year last week, and it was wonderful to come together with parents and caregivers to begin thinking about how we can support our students and school community this year!

Whether you have a little time to volunteer, can contribute supplies, or simply want to stay connected, there will be different ways to participate.
We also had an opportunity to meet and talk with our Leadership teacher and Principal about student activities, campus culture, and ways parents can partner with the school to support our students.
