She's approachable, friendly, kind and desiring to help. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions or concerns or comments. We're here to help. Our Parent Support Council and Site Council meet monthly. We encourage all families to attend. This is a great opportunity for parents, staff, administration and community to talk to with one another and gain information on what's happening at school.  We also served light dinner before the meeting.
