I am happy to announce that this year, we will be implementing the Leader in Me curriculum. This is a curriculum designed for children based on The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey. I am so excited for this opportunity for our school! There will be more to come on this, including a parent information night. I know if we are a team in this vision, our students will continue to gain skills essential to navigating life in the 21st century!

We will also have a special focus on America 250 this year, including learning fun facts about our country, learning our National Anthem, and learning more about patriotism and civic engagement. Watch for more information to come on this!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Stay safe and keep enjoying these summer days!

…And happy 250th 4th of July, America!

All the best,

Principal Nobis
