THANK YOU to all the families who attended the Back to School Open House!   It was well attended and great to see all the excitement.  Teachers would like to thank the PTA board – Maryann Whiting, Chantel Conti, Aimara Machin Obregon and Heather Erickson- for the wonderful meal provided that day. Thank you to Ruth Vine Tyler Library and Copperview Recreation Center for bringing information about their resources to our community!
