May 13, 2021 Lower School Principal Message Aloha Parents!
Thank you to all who attended May Day last Friday. The kids enjoyed performing and watching the livestream from their classrooms. If you were unable to view the 2021 May Day Livestream Recording you can do so using this link. Additionally, you should have received an email linking you to the event's photo library.
Next Friday we'll be hosting our final Lower School Principal's Coffee of the year. We'll be reviewing the progress on this year's goals, our vision for next year's goals as well as upcoming changes and staffing for next year. I hope you can join me at 9am via zoom. Please click here to register in advance.
Finally, I just want to remind all of you to drive safely at afternoon pick up. The loop has been a bit more congested lately and everyone seems to be in a rush. Please slow down, be alert, and drive with caution.
Aloha, Leah
