Principal's Update 3/26/23

Sea Kings Families,

We capped off our final week of school before spring break with a vignette of Shrek Jr. performed by our drama department for our Board of Education meeting (March 22, 2023). The cast and crew did a fantastic job and continue to amaze me every year. A special thank you to Ms. O, Ms, Palmer, and the many parent volunteers that make this program successful! Fine arts programs are often the first cut when the budget gets tight, but we have sustained and often exceeded expectations in large part because of our parent boosters.

We could not do it without our community support, thank you, parents. Students flourish in school both academically, personally/socially when they find their niche; the thing they are passionate about and that motivates them-drama programs are one of those beautiful places:)

Be Well...Micah J. Farrell, Principal
