Dear Students:

          We have been leaving many legacies behind this school year. Our theme this year is "Leaving a Legacy." This is the last year as Indian Trail Middle School, and we are going to have a wonderful year! Next year, our school will become Indian Trail Intermediate School. We want to leave our special mark on our special school.



Here are a few of my favorite books:



Class News:
