Principal’s Message

Addams Families,

As we head into winter break, we just wanted to send a note of gratitude to the Addams community. We feel so fortunate to work with and learn from our staff and students each day! The Addams community truly AMAZES! The students amazed by giving back to the community this morning by engaging in fun activities through our Crusaders Care project.  We wish families a safe and healthy holiday season and look forward to seeing our students grow in 2025!

Regards,

Bill Musselman                 Tricia Leong
