dedicated to providing all children with the
educational, social, and technological skills
needed to successfully experience and contribute
to the world around them. We will engage
parents, and community members as full partners
in helping our children develop the abilities to
work with others, make responsible decisions, and
continue to learn and grow throughout their
lives. Building on our childrens talents, our
small, diverse community will celebrate each
child in a safe, healthy, and information-rich
