Dear McNamara Families,
Wow, what a fun time we had this afternoon during our masked teacher assembly!! The students had a blast cheering for our incredible staff members that danced, sang, and told jokes on stage. Thank you to our amazing PTA for organizing this assembly, and for all of your support throughout the entire school year!

Please remember that report cards are now available on School Tool.

Have a terrific weekend!
