Tip for the day:  When was the last time you talked to your child about the
hopes and dreams for the future?  Take some time to talk to your child
about his or her future,let them know that all things are possible with a
good education and the belief in oneself.  Be your child's motivator and
cheerleader as the try to make their dreams come true!

As always, if I can be of service to you at anytime, please do not hesitate
to call!

Your Proud Principal,
Mrs. H.
