The Building Leadership Team met to establish building goals. They have also been learning about SDI with our Special Education Teachers. Thank you to Michele, Lonnie, Angie, & Mason for the work they have put in this summer. They have put in a lot of time preparing the building and making sure teachers have what they need to start the year prepared. I am excited to begin the school year.
