Laramie Letters 11.8.22
Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
I hope you are having a great week! It was wonderful to have you all on campus this past Friday! I was so proud to walk around and see the students interacting with family members to show off their learning. We topped it all off with our Cultural Fair yesterday, thank you to our volunteers who so beautifully articulated and shared their cultures with our students.
Just as a reminder, we do not have school on Friday in observance of Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all past and present that have served.
– Mrs. Sarah Laramie
