From the Principal’s Pen
Dear Laurel Hill Families,
We have many fun and exciting things happening every day at Laurel Hill! Last week, 5th graders from Mrs. Wilds' class celebrated Rocket Day with making and shooting off rockets and a visit from a NASA guest! Check out the video compilation linked above. We will continue to highlight fun activities in our weekly newsletters.
We highly encourage all parents to join the PTA, as they provide many fun events throughout the year. Please click here to see important updates from our PTA. We hope to see you at the PTA sponsored Screen on the Green movie night tomorrow evening!
Sincerely,
Janice Dalton, Principal
