As the school year comes to an end, it’s time for us to officially say goodbye as we step down from the PTO board. We have loved every moment of this past decade of service! We know that the organization is in good hands with an energized and enthusiastic new board. Many thanks to the parents, teachers and staff, and administration for all of their support over the years. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead! ❤️🦈❤️ ⭐️Alissa Dunford, Joy Jordan, & Meaghan Smith⭐️

Many thanks go out to the past board which included three incredible leaders: Alissa Dunford, Joy Jordan, and Meaghan Smith. We have BIG shoes to fill but we're going to hit the ground running and can't wait for a fantastic 2018-2019 school year!

"Sun Safety" message from Nurse Fiocco...
With the summer fast approaching, the I would like to send out a reminder on how to practice sun safety.
Please apply sunscreen ( 15 SPF or higher) to your children before school, especially if they will be attending a field trip or be outside for an extended period of time. It doesn’t have to be expensive, the Equate brand sold at Walmart, recently received a very high rating
Make sure your children wear hats, cover-up clothing and sunglasses when participating in outdoor activities
Avoid direct sun exposure when possible between 10 am and 4 pm. Seek shade!
Lead by example and practice good sun safety yourself
