Principal's Message

Dear Zeh Families,

On Wednesday evening, our fourth and fifth grade students showcased their musical talent at the Music Informance. Our fourth graders impressed the audience with several recorder pieces, and the fifth grade chorus and band delivered wonderful performances as well. It is amazing to see how much progress they have already made this year. I’m excited to hear them again later in the year and to see how their musical skills continue to grow.

There will be no newsletter next week due to the holiday. I’m looking forward to spending time with my family for Thanksgiving, and I hope you all have a joyful and restful holiday as well. I am truly grateful to be part of such an incredible school community.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Mr. Bell
