Principal’s Hello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, Golden Eagle Families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you had as good a week as we did! We conducted field studies at Skyliners, continued our 8th grade science fair, and fielded many track stars who achieved personal records at the District Track and Field Meet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather, as you know, has been great, so we’ve got a ton of kids playing outside during lunch, which is awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we’re starting to gear up for some end-of-year fun, including 5th Grade Family Night, 8th Grade Promotion, and our two field days. It’s an exciting time of the school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure I’ll see many of you at the 3v3 soccer tourney this weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please remind your child to enter all of their 2023\/24 community service hours, by Friday, May 31st<\/span>. One hour of service equates to $10 dollars for our Sparrow with the support of many local businesses. All hours should be recorded via the QR code below or by clicking here<\/a>. It is super important that your student records their hours by May 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
