Dear Evergreen Families,

As we approach the Winter break, we would like to thank students, staff, and families for making our school community such a wonderful place and one that we are all proud of.

Over the break, we hope you take the opportunity to rest and relax with friends and family and enjoy creating memories that you will remember fondly for years to come.   We wish those of you who celebrate Christmas and Kwanzaa wonderful celebrations.

We invite you to enjoy our Winter Art Walk featuring student art on classroom windows starting Dec. 20th and over the break. Our hope is that our student’s artistic talents brighten your holiday season.
