A Note From Mr. Witherspoon:

The last week of the school year, believe it or not, is upon us and we should be proud of all the hard work we all put in to allow our students to soar above the storm.  The resilience that we have shown as a community has provided our students with examples of how to weather any storm that they may be confronted with.  Thank you again for all you have done this year to support your children (and us) as our school year has been beyond successful!  

Summertime does signify that the end of the school year has come; however, it also is a time that is a new beginning. This is a great time for us all to plan for our students to have a successful school year!  Please look for opportunities to engage your children in activities that will keep their brain active and continue to thirst for learning throughout the summer.  Continue to provide opportunities to read, write, and simple math processes during our time off in efforts to prevent any summer learning loss.  This will put our children in the best position to continue to be successful next school year. 

Information below will give you more information on our learning opportunities for this summer.  Please click on the links below to find out more information.  

Thank you again for all your partnership and support! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything. Our Eagles are strong and will SOAR higher due to our strong partnership!

Stay Awesome and Keep SOARing Eagles!!!!
