Well, it's that time of year again! Summer is over, which means it's back to school and me back at the helm of this site again! We have a new principal this year - Carolyn E. Battle. I would like to welcome her to our community and wish her a prosperous, productive and enjoyable school year.

One of our teachers is currently in the hospital recovering after a major procedure. He has had some complications, but he is a strong and stubborn individual who refuses to give up. Click here to read his most recent letter (11/08/2009). Our prayers and well wishes go out to this respected and beloved member of our community and to his family.
