Let's keep the positive energy going and work together to make this school year the best one yet! Go Tigers! 🐯 #PBIS #TigerPaws #PawsMart #RespectResponsibilityReadyToLearn"

Open House on August 28th, was such a joy. The families and scholars picked up their passport, visited their classroom, teachers, and support staff and then returned for a small welcome gift. Thank you to former Principal, Ms. Melva Wright and Reverend Tyquan Alston from St. Paul AME Zion Church for helping us greet the families. There were plenty of smiles, hugs and lots of laughter. We are looking forward to this upcoming school year. #Risingabove #reachingbeyond #tigernation #community
