Albemarle School’s staff would like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Hopefully each of you had a joyful holiday season, enjoyed all the beautiful weather and had opportunities to spend time with your families.
Many exciting things happened at Albemarle School during the month of December. There were plenty of Christmas celebrations in each classroom. Special thanks to all the students, teachers and Ms. Shannon Bright for the outstanding Christmas performance. The students’ performance was before a packed house in the gymnasium and the play and music was enjoyed by all. Everyone also enjoyed the special visit from Santa Claus. Thanks to those volunteers who helped with the Secret Santa fundraiser. We took in about $800.00.
