Thought: Remember
the difference between a boss and a leader; a boss says "Go!" - a
leader says "Let's go!"~E. Kelly
We are sad
to be losing Mr.Burton, as our wonderful principal at the end of this
year. He has been promoted to be
the Director of Elementary of Education for our district. He has done great
things for our school and he will be greatly missed. We wish him all the best
and are so thankful for his love for the students and learning here at East.
