First Assembly of the School Year

5th Grade going to Balarat

Dear Willow Families,

What an exciting four-day week! Our 5th graders had an amazing experience at Balarat, we kicked off our first school assembly, and we celebrated our incredible 4th and 5th graders with an SPF Pizza Party!

A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for another wonderful meeting and to everyone who joined our campus clean-up to help keep our school looking its best. We are so grateful for the partnership and community that make Willow such a special place to be.

And we’re not done yet… tonight is our Back-to-School Dance! We can’t wait to see our Hawks and families there for an evening of fun, connection, and celebration!

Warmly,

Catrina Pazo
Principal, Willow Elementary School
