  • Happy Winter Break (no new blog this week)!


In closing, I continue to feel grateful for a job that I love and that I get to work with kids every day. I am personally looking forward to putting my "mom" hat back on and enjoying my kids' faces light up with our fun adventures over break. 

As a reminder, we return to school on Monday, January 7th! It's a buddy classroom day so students should wear spirit wear!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Vail Kieser

Principal
