A Message from our principal

Hello Sacajawea families,

Our students and staff enjoyed participating in our Spirit Day on Wednesday. Our next Spirit Day will be on January 3rd. The theme is Beach Day. We look forward to seeing all the creative outfits.

Wednesday also featured NEST. This is where students get a chance to meet up with students from different grade levels and teachers they might not normally spend time with. It is great way to build community and get to know each other.

In Partnership,

Barry Fisk (he/him)
Principal
