American Education Week will be held during the week of November 12. Grandparents/VIP are invited to visit the classrooms from 9:30-11:00 on Friday, November 16. Please sign in at the main office and get a visitor’s pass. Mary McLeod Bethune, American Educator, said, “My family believed in the public schools because they believed in the community. They believed that the most important thing was in your head. You become a worthwhile person, and a member of the community.” We hope you can join us in our celebration of American Education Week.
