of our children. We would appreciate if you respect our processes as students enter in the morning. During Morning Announcements ALL students, parents and teachers are asked not

talk, walk or conduct ANY business as a part of our trainings for our students. They are expected to participate in the moment of silence as well as the pledge to the flag.
