Following the reading, Ms. Phillips and Ms. Niblock led a meaningful lesson on the importance of embracing differences, highlighting how our school community grows stronger when we celebrate the uniqueness of every student.

Principal Christy Otley

Meet Principal Christy Otley!

Hi, Shark families! My favorite part of being a principal is the learning and growing that happens among students and staff. A few fun facts about me: One of my favorite children’s books is “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.” I hope to someday climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and I once filmed a commercial in the Czech Republic!
