A Message from our Principal

Thank you to our Sacajawea Community for your continued support of our students!

We had a great turnout for the auction and dinner this past Friday!  Whether you were in on the planning, assisted with set up or clean up, arranged for the fabulous meal, helped to secure auction donations or attended the festivities we could not have pulled it off without each and every one of you.

When we speak of partnership, this is it.

In gratitude Barry Fisk
