Welcome Back to another year at the best school! We are really excited for all the great activities we have planned for this year.  We would love to have TONS of parents involved in PTA. Not only is being a part of PTA a great way to help our school it's also a great way to meet others that live in our community.  I have met some great friends by being in PTA.  We encourage each of you to take the opportunity to be involved with your wonderful children. We love our Principal, Teachers and the rest of the staff and we want to make sure we can support them in all they do for our kids. 

October 3-8

This is a busy week for the school.

Dont forget SEPS on Wednesday and Thursday

The book fair is going on from Monday-Friday. All day and during SEP's.

The school carnival is on Friday the 7. Because the weather is supposed to be bad it will most likly be in the gym. So bring your family for a night of fun. Wristbands will be for sale during SEPs and Thursday and Friday during school hours in the office.

Dont for get to donate to your classes silent auction basket.

All of the procceds from the carnival go to our school. They help with things like SEP dinners for the teachers. Teacher appreciation, Feild trip fund, All reading programs the school puts on, red, green and white ribbion weeks. The school costs alot of money to run and we cant run these extra programs without the PTA, so come and support the PTA and help make your childs school the BEST!

I just want to say thanks to all of those that volunteered today at the vision screenings. It is a big help to me and the school when people are willing to donate their time. So thanks again.
