Message from Dr. Breuder:
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Winter Break. I unplugged from work for the break and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Some of my highlights include reading books on my couch, going to the movies with my children (we were thoroughly entertained by the Anaconda re-boot), participating in an escape room with my brother and his kids, decorating cookies with my sister and her kids, eating crepes with my parents on Christmas morning, and spending New Year’s with my partner, Steve, in the warmth of Puerto Vallarta. I am feeling rested and excited to head back to school on Monday!
BIPOC Community Connection Night: The PTSA is sponsoring a BIPOC Community Connection Night on Thursday, January 15th, from 6:30-8:00pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided for this event.

Join the PTSA as a voting member! Everyone – parents, caregivers, extended family, community members – is encouraged to join the PTSA. Membership does NOT commit you to attending meetings or volunteering. Our goal is to have at least one family member join the PTSA for each student, so we can continue to align our budget and initiatives to our community’s needs.
Stay Updated: Our school’s volunteer-driven Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) strives to build community, support school programs, and help families stay connected through events, fundraisers & more! Here’s how to keep in touch with what’s happening:
