 A Letter from the Principal 
 From the Principal:
As Thanksgiving comes upon us our minds turn to giving thanks for the blessings we have been given. I offer you this prayer as a gift of this season of thankfulness.
Dear God, for another day, for another minute, for another chance to serve you, I am grateful. Please keep me free from fear of the future, from anxiety about tomorrow, from bitterness towards anyone, from cowardice in the face of danger, from laziness in my daily work, from failure before opportunity, from weakness when your power is at hand.
But fill me with love that knows no bounds, with sympathy that reaches all, with courage that can't be shaken, with faith strong enough for the darkness, with sufficient strength for my tasks. Be with me for another day, and use me as you will. Amen
Fall blessings to all of you!

 Dear Parents,
It is extremely urgent that you go to the link below and contact your state legislators.
The funds we receive from the state for giving state mandated testing, keeping mandated attendance records and other tasks has been cut by 12%. At the same time, public schools will see an increase in their funding. This move has to be stopped, considering the fragility of our economy and our need to sustain our school. We need to get the following bills passed:
- S.8197 - Senator Marty Golden's bill which will retain money for Mandated services.
- A.11075 - Assemblyman Joe Lentol's assembly version of a NO CUT BILL to guarantee Mandated Services monies.
Please take action now! The situation is urgent!
