We are please to announce that our very own Assistant Principal, Mr. Juan Lopez, just received the Educator of the Year Award! Of course, we have always known what a superstar we have in our midst, since he is responsible for so many of the great things that happen at our site. Every day we see him all over the campus: speaking with the children; supporting our teachers; helping out in the cafeteria; handling discipline; and so much more. He grills a terrific hotdog, too. Just ask the happy diners at last Friday's walk-a-thon. We are so fortunate to have him at our campus and to be honest, we don't know how we would ever manage without him. To be recognized by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is a well deserved honor and we are so proud. The next time you see him, please be sure to congratulate him.

Don't forget his great messages of encouragement!

Our Annual Fall Festival was Friday, Oct. 7. It was a fantastic event with carnival type games, food, great music (including a DJ!), and even face painting & customized manicures. Wow! We want to thank our parent club for all of their effort on this great event and thank you to all of the parents and students that contributed items for the baskets, time for the event, and energy on the day of the event. We can't wait until next year to do it all over again. Fall Festival Flyer
