Principal Report
- Middle States-Sister Katherine
Clark from a Philadelphia
school was here and met with each classroom. She described our school as a “Peaceful”
place. She would like to meet with
a group of parents to talk about OLA, if you are interested let Mrs. Burg
know. The Middle States group will
meet with parents, teachers and students to discuss OLA. When they are finished with their visit
they will give an oral report to the teachers and review the written
report with Mrs. Burg. Sometime in
the fall of 2008 we will find out if we are accredited.
