Message from Mrs. Steele, Principal
February is Kindness Month! We are implementing a schoolwide theme for all students, "Throw Kindness Like Confetti!" Staff will recognize students or colleagues that they catch showing random acts of kindness and will write the act on a colorful heart with the person's name, teacher/grade. There will be two bulletin boards, one for K-1 and the other for 2-5 where the hearts will be placed. At the end of the month, the students will receive their act of kindness heart(s) from their board. So let's fill up our boards with AWESOME acts of kindness from our students and staff!
GO HUSKIES!

We will let you know the date as soon as possible. Remote students will be contacted by Ms. Ravizza to set up an appointment for screening. Parents can fill out an opt out form on the Lynchburg City Schools' website should they not want their child to participate.
