For her birthday, she asked her friends to bring art supplies to her party instead of presents. All supplies collected were donated to Mrs. Novak and the Holly Tree arts program. Thank you, Annabelle! |

3rd-5th Grade Student Leadership Opportunities
If you have a 3rd -5th grader, the information regarding these opportunities was sent home with them, and can extra forms can also be picked up in the front office or the jobs board. All applications are due by January 26. Please take time to view these with your student, as many of the jobs start at 7:20, so if your student does not ride a bus, it will require them to be at school early one day a week. Also, please note that some jobs are for 5th graders only and afternoon jobs are only for students who ride Bus #2.
Linked below are the application and job descriptions.
We can't wait to see our students shine! We hope all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders apply!

With installment delays and rising costs, we have had many hurdles to complete this intention, and we apologize for the delay. However, now we are faced with not having enough funds to get a substantial structure that would serve all elementary-age students well. As our 2023 Boosterthon fundraiser approaches, the board has worked closely with Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Smith to determine the best needs for the school. It has been decided that if we can raise another $5,000, then we can complete the playground update that would be enjoyed by students for many years to come. Our hope is to raise this and much more for staff development (conferences and seminars) and a new shade structure for our very sunny schoolyard. Thanks in advance for your support on this. |
