Presidents' Message

As we will soon be welcoming a new principal at Sargent, we'd like to change the bulletin boards in the foyer to showcase the "faces of Sargent".  It would include a collage of photos (no names posted) of Sargent families, teachers and staff.  If you'd like to submit a family photo, please send them in with your student marked Bulletin Board Photo by June 1st.

Mrs. Desai will be hosting her Principal's coffee at 9:15am on Friday, May 27th in the cafeteria.  Come by to just chat with her or to ask any questions about Sargent. 

Have a great week!!!

Kim and Chris
