A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL & ASST PRINCIPAL

 
.
 

What a Week of Holiday Fun!
Last week was an absolute blast seeing everyone dressed up for each of our Winter Break Countdown theme days! Friday’s Reindeer Colors were the perfect way to wrap up the week. Thank you for bringing the festive spirit!

Let’s keep the excitement going as we count down these last five days until Winter Break. Can you believe we’ve already reached the halfway point of the school year? Time is flying, and we are so proud of the incredible growth, both academically and socially, that our students have shown so far.

A huge thank you to our families for your continued support: getting students to school on time, maintaining open communication, volunteering, assisting, and donating when you can. Your partnership makes all the difference!

And last but certainly not least, a big shout-out to our amazing faculty and staff for the countless hours spent behind the scenes to make learning magical every single day. They come in early, stay late, and even give up weekends to decorate, plan, and prepare so our students can have the best experiences while they are here at Pride. We are truly blessed to have such amazing people working with our students each and every day, in every area of our building-from the office to the classrooms, to the cafeteria, to the media center, and even the hallways.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe, relaxing winter break. Recharge, be SAFE, and come back ready to plunder the second semester with your smarts! 😊

 

Yo-ho-ho and onward we go!

Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Moncrief

We need volunteers to help in the cafeteria during lunch on a daily basis between 10:00 and 1:30. Ideally, we would like to have recurring volunteers, but any time you can help would be greatly appreciated! The role involves monitoring student behavior, assisting students with opening food items, escorting students to the bathroom or health clinic, helping with spills, etc...
