Thursday, March 30th: Dress Down for Everyone, $2 optional donation
All Students may dress down on Thursday, March 30th. We are suggesting a $2 donation be made but it is not required to participate in the dress down day.
There will be a donation bucket in the hallway where students enter in the morning if they want to make a donation for dressing down.
Here are the remaining Dress Down Days, $2.00 donation optional:
- Thursday, April 27
- Monday, May 22nd (Field Day)
We hope this has been a fun way to raise some money for playground additions and give our students a regular opportunity to enjoy a dress down day.
Monday, May 8th - Friday May 12th: Teacher Appreciation Week
Opportunity awaits to volunteer, donate and help with Teacher Appreciation Week. We are currently looking for parents/businesses to donate items for a Silent Teacher Auction that will be held Friday, May 12th.

Library Wish List
Interested in helping our school's library grow?? Check out our library's wish list for books Mrs. Blaser is looking for!
- Our amazing librarian has created a wish list of library items. Although the wish list is on Amazon, it is not necessary to purchase these items directly from Amazon. Items can be new (purchased from a store of your choosing) or even gently used, so if you have one of these books at home and have finished using it we would be happy to accept it as a library donation- just drop off library donations to the front office.
