PRINCIPAL NEWS

As we get ready to finish another jawsome school year, I want to invite you to celebrate our year.

This year has been filled with learning, growth, challenges, achievements, and countless memorable moments. Our Sharks have worked hard, shown resilience, and continued to inspire me with their creativity and kindness. Our teachers and staff have remained dedicated to supporting every student’s success, and our families have been supportive throughout the year.

To our Shark students: thank you for your effort, enthusiasm, and school spirit. Whether you are moving on to a new grade or a new school, you should be proud of all you have accomplished.

To our Shark families: thank you for your encouragement and continued support. Your support makes a tremendous difference in the success of your student and our school.

To our Shark staff: thank you for your commitment, compassion, and tireless work on behalf of our students every single day.

This summer, I encourage everyone to take time to relax, recharge, spend time with loved ones, and continue exploring new opportunities to learn and grow.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on August 31st for another successful school year.


~ Mrs. Christenberry
