SFCP is a school action team that includes the principal, teachers, staff, parents and community members. Its mission is to support the school improvement process by reaching out to involve families and community members in partnership programs and initiatives that contribute to student achievement and success. In November, we began the process of brainstorming program ideas for the next school year. Thoughts or questions about the team or future events may be directed to Amy Vander Veen at 527-8961 or Debbie Whang at 717-0689.
