Cory Families,
We made it through an amazing school year! This year was really the year to bring back community connections! We had so many amazing events that connected us all together. We made gains in all areas of academics and are really proud to continue leading Cory. This week we have had projects, picnics, kickball, slime the principal and continuation.
We hope you have a wonderful summer and take time to enjoy the weather and all things that summertime brings! We look forward to seeing everyone back for the 23/24 school year. Have a wonderful summer and have great adventures!! Happy Last Day of School! The fifth grade students persevered and beat the teachers 16 to 15. It was a very competitive and everyone tried their very best!!
