Message From the Principal
Spring Concert Success!
Congratulations to Mr. Ramsey and our grades 3–6 students and staff for an amazing spring concert! The church was filled with an appreciative audience—and even more importantly, with beautiful music. Our students truly showed what it means to be kind, responsible, respectful, and safe, both on and off the stage. It was a wonderful evening that highlighted their hard work, talent, and teamwork—a perfect way to spend a Thursday night!
A big thank-you also goes out to our grades 3–6 students and staff for their focus and effort during the VTCAP state testing. Everyone has worked hard and tried their best, showing perseverance and a positive attitude throughout. We hope to wrap up testing next week, and any make-up sessions will take place after spring break. Great job, everyone, for giving your best effort and continuing to show what it means to be a caring and committed learner!
Enjoy the sunshine,
Shawn
