On Friday, September 11th, we will commemorate the writing of the poem "The Star-Spangled Banner" by Francis Scott Key in 1814. All students and faculty will gather at the flagpole to sing our National Anthem. All students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. Grades 3-5 are encouraged to memorize the lyrics. It is sure to be an exciting event!
As you get ready for the new school year, don't forget one simple step that can make a big difference!
🧥 Please label your child's jackets, coats, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and water bottles with their name.
Items that are labeled can be returned to students quickly, helping keep our Lost & Found a little less full and ensuring your child doesn't lose their belongings.
Thank you for helping us start the school year off right. We can't wait to welcome everyone back! 💙📚✏️
