Dear Eli Terry Families,

March 27th is National Terrier Day! Today we celebrate all things Terrier especially the incredible spirit of our Eli Terry community! Just like terriers, our students show determination, curiosity, and heart every day in their learning and interactions with others. We are proud of the way our students demonstrate these qualities through their hard work, kindness, and perseverance.

Thank you for being such an important part of our Terrier family!
