Field Day Volunteers Needed!
I'm so excited to announce we will be having a full-day Field Day once again. It will be held on Friday, May 20.
Field Day is something we have done for a long time. Our marvelous PTO provides matching t-shirts for all students and staff. We then have 19 different activities that all classrooms will go through during the day. It is truly a highlight of the year.
In order to pull this off, I need a lot of volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering in the morning, afternoon or all day please fill out this brief Google Form. Please fill it out as soon as you can so I can gauge how many volunteers I have to work with. Thanks

FREE SCHOOL MEALS EXPIRING JUNE 2022
A waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has enabled schools across the nation, including Fargo Public Schools, to provide all students free meals since the COVID-19 pandemic first disrupted K – 12 education in March of 2020. The free school meal benefits will expire after the last school day of the 2021 – 2022 school year.
What does this mean for families? In the fall of 2022, meals will return to paid-for status. Families will need to pay full price for student meals or fill out an application to qualify for free or reduced price meals. Applications for the 2022-2023 school year will be available starting July 1, 2022. Applications will be available on the Nutrition Services Department website after that date and will be shared at the start of the 2022-23 school year with families.
