Greetings Raiders,
This is your proud new principal Mrs. Mary Newman-Evans. It is my pleasure and honor to join the Harold B. Dawson Family. I am excited about the coming year and am thinking of you today as I work on finalizing things in the office for our first day of school on Wednesday, July 30.
I hope that you and your scholar will be able to join us in the building for an Unpack Your Backpack Event on Tuesday, July 29 from 1:00-2:30PM. I look forward to meeting you and learning about your vision for your scholar's 25-26 School Year.
Respectfully,
MJN-E, Principal
