Thank you !

Dear Allen families,
thank you for the compassion and support that you have expressed over the passing of my father. Your kind words, cards and hugs have helped. A special thank you to Parent council for the beautiful plant for my father. I would also like to thank the Allen staff who are truly my extended family for their support and leadership during my recent absences. I am very thankful to be a member of this wonderful school and Allen community.

Thanks again,

Joan Fitzgibbon

March is Reading Month Storyteller

We were thrilled to have Storyteller Kathleen Wright (also a Kindergarten teacher at Lakewood Elementary) come to Allen during March is reading month.   She was so much fun and did an amazing job not only with her storytelling, but also her focus on writing and personal narratives.
