Thanksgiving Feasts
Our Thanksgiving Feasts will be held on November 20th for all students in the Preschool building and on November 21st for all students in the Elementary building (including Mrs. Collins' and Mrs. White's Pre-Kindergarten classes). Please see your child's teacher for your child's specific lunch times. Parents are welcome to join us for lunch that day if you are interested.
Thanksgiving Week - November 25-29
Please sign up on your child's classroom door by Wednesday, November 20th for the day(s) that he/she will be attending school during the week of Thanksgiving. We do not have instructional classes that week, but we are open normal hours Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The school is closed for the holiday on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29.
Candy Cane Grams
Our 6th grade students will be selling candy cane grams. They will be sold in both buildings for $1 each beginning December 3rd and continuing through December 18th. This will benefit the 6th grade spring trip to Philadelphia. There will be a container in both offices with blank tags to be filled out and a place to put the money. The students will pick up orders each day and deliver by the following day.
