Our school’s PTO elections on May 7th mark an important transition as longtime leaders Vannessa Roger and Jolene Jones step down after seven years of dedicated service. Their efforts have built a strong school-community connection and supported beloved events and student incentives. To continue these traditions, we encourage parents to get involved and consider joining the PTO to help lead and support our school moving forward.

Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning, both in and out of school. We want our scholars to build literacy skills so that they are successful learners, but we also want them to love reading. Not everyone is a natural reader, but everyone can learn to love reading with the right stories.
