Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 School Year

Welcome to the start of a new year, its always so fun to get new school supplies. Moving up to the 6th grade can always be a challenge. it's your first year of middle school, after all.

I hope that you spent some time practicing opening a whell combination lock. I also hope that when you bought those school supplies, you didn't grab a BOB (Big Old Binder). They usually don't fit in your locker. They also become a trash can organizing.

I am looking forward to our year together, I hope that you are too. Please remember that I am going to need two student service council reps. Also remember that all middle schoolers are now eligible to run for Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer of the Student service council. Remember that running for these positions requires a time commitment. Like all things in life, rewards come with responsibilities.
