Those who were invited were all the students and parents in grades 4-8 who had no disciplinary actions for the first semester. This included, lunch, and after school detentions, in and out of school suspensions and any bus referrals. The breakfast was paid for by the principal's fund and was catered by Steve McManus. This is something that has been done in the past, and hope to have it continue on a yearly basis in February. Thanks to all the parents and students who attended! Click here to see pictures.
