Skating and Thank You!
Thank you to all the volunteers who made skating possible. It takes a whole village to make these off site opportunities happen and we know it takes coordination and time from all the volunteers. We appreciate all the donated items, time gifted, and support.
Federal Election
Our school is designated as a voting site for the upcoming election on Monday, April 28. As a result, we anticipate increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic in and around the school premises on election day. We kindly request that all families exercise extra caution, allow for additional time for parking, and be mindful of the increased activity to ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Scholastic Book Fair
Our Scholastic Book Fair was a success! Thank you to all volunteers, families, teachers, and students who participated, supporting our school while enhancing home libraries.The book fair total was $8719.75, our school library will receive 50% of this profit.
Your investment in your reader helped our school to earn valuable Rewards that will be redeemed for new books for our school library, as well as supplies and Education Resources to benefit our students.
We can’t wait to hear all about the new stories you have added to your home libraries!
Thank you for participating in our Scholastic Book Fair!
