This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:
- Grade 7 Highlight: Shout out to our 7th grade students and staff who attended Thompson Island in the fall. This is an annual free field trip that we invite all 7th grade students to attend for three days and two night. Last week they hosted their Annual Gala and shared a video with donors that was taped based on our student’s trip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odyPAlZ2q1c Way to go!
