Lunch this Week
Lost and Found
All items in the Lost and Found have been moved to the area outside of the front office. Parents are welcome to stop by during office hours to see if you can find anything that is missing of your child's. Items that are still there at winter break will be donated to a local charity.
On our school Facebook page, there are 4 videos of everything that is still in the Lost and Found. Please take a look and claim your child's things by Tuesday before everything left gets donated.
Half Day on Tuesday
Please remember that Tuesday, December 19 is a half day for students. Dismissal will begin at 11:45. Be sure to pick your child up on time.
Holiday Hustle!
To help us have a little fun this holiday season, staff and students are invited to participate in some festive fun. This is completely optional! We hope this brings a little extra joy to this time of year.
