We decided not to allow thestudents on the playground during the lunch period so as to not risk allergic and asthma reactionsbecause of this situation. I was very impressed with the amount of teachers who contacted meexpressing concern about exposing our students to these elements and the care and empathy theydisplayed towards the health of their students. This is a very caring and empathetic staff who carevery much for your children.
We are very fortunate to have many parents and members of the community who give assistance toour school. We truly appreciate your support of the programs and activities that we run.
