Dear Dunham Families,
The second week of school has already come to an end. We are off to a fantastic start. I have been able to visit some Zoom classes and see the kids, which really makes my day. It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Back to School Nights this week. The teachers did a tremendous job of preparing for those and providing helpful information. School supply donations continue to be dropped off, we thank you very much for your generosity towards the school. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
Please see below for events happening next week.
Sincerely,
Daniel Hoffman
Superintendent / Principal
