A message from Mrs. Boyer, our 5th-grade ASPIRE GC-SAGE Rep:

Hello ASPIRE parents,

I hope you’re all doing well! The latest SAGE newsletter was released last week, and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see it. It includes highlights from the recent survey results about EMPC, the full SAGE letter to the school board, and details about an upcoming get-together and fundraiser.

It’s always a great time to join SAGE! Annual family membership is just $30, and every dollar goes directly toward supporting our teachers.
