Open House & Belle Aire Book Fair
Thank you for making time to come to the school earlier this week. WE HAD A FANTASTIC TURNOUT! The students were very excited to show you some of the things they've been working on this year. There was so much positive energy, and it was great to connect with so many of you.
Thank you also for supporting the book fair. Your patience with the line was recognized, and some of you took advantage of the online ordering option. Mr. Stalker, Mr. Bhalla and the team of volunteers did a great job with this, and we couldn't have done this without them. Thank you!

We Can Still Use Your Help!
The trees are set to be delivered to our school in May, and it's up to us to get them planted. Our planting date is set for Saturday, May 13, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I could really use some help from you to get these planted, and the tree you help plant will be enjoyed by many for decades to come.
Grab your family and a shovel, and stop by to help! Please use the attached link to let me know if you are able to pitch in; thank you in advance for considering.
