Know Our Teachers


Ever wondered about the unique and fascinating lives of our dedicated faculty and staff members? In this edition, we're shining the spotlight on Ms. Katie Townsend, and here are 5 interesting tidbits that make her stand out:


Five interesting facts about me:


  1. 🤚 Left-Handed Wonders: Ms. Townsend is part of the exclusive left-handed club, adding a touch of uniqueness to their teaching style.

  2. 🌴 Sunshine State Roots: Originally hailing from South Florida, Ms. Townsend brings a bit of that warm sunshine to our school community.

  3. 🌉 Bridge Climber Extraordinaire: Hold your breath! Ms. Townsend once conquered the heights of the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia. Now that's an adventurous spirit!

  4. 🐾 Pet Parenting Pro: Dog, Teddy, the wise and loyal companion of Ms. Townsend, who is an impressive 16 years old. A true testament to the power of love and care.

  5. 🥧 Pi Day Enthusiast: March 14th is not just another day for Ms. Townsend. She celebrates Pi Day annually, adding a fun and educational twist to the festivities with their students.

 

By sharing these personal insights, we hope to foster a stronger connection between our faculty and the school community.

School Store


This school year, the School Store has experienced remarkable success. One exciting feature is the availability of $20 punch cards that can be utilized for purchasing merchandise. Considering that students are unable to carry backpacks throughout the day, $20 book bags are now offered for purchase on the PTA website, with convenient pickup options at the store.

 

For our students’ convenience, the School Store operates during the following hours: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8 am to 9 am.

 


Additionally, we are actively seeking volunteers for the store – an opportunity often regarded as the MOST FUN volunteer role at our school.

Join us in making the School Store experience even more enjoyable for everyone!
