Service-Minded Leopard!
Students in 4th grade will be learning about the importance of cancer research from one of their own, Bailey L. Bailey has decided to participate in the St. Baldrick's Foundation event at Dell Children's Hospital on April 28th. He will be shaving his head to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research. He has set a goal to raise $1000 for this event. We are so proud of him for continuing his own fight against cancer, and we are thankful that he is well today. Please see the link below to learn more about this worthy cause.

Reminders and Announcements
Traffic and Parking: Obey all posted traffic signs on roadways including the no-parking signs posted in front of the school on Pearson Ranch Rd. Please don't try to make your own short-cuts to avoid school traffic, for example dropping your students off in the middle of the parking lot or road, etc. Please help your students stay safe by teaching them to walk in the protected crosswalks to cross the roads rather than darting across traffic and in between cars. Give yourself plenty of time and exercise patience. Safety, not speed, is the priority. It only takes a small error in judgment to make a life-altering mistake.
Arrival and Dismissal: Thank you for assisting with any measures we put in place to ensure the safety and security of your children. Please notify me when you spot areas of concern that need to be addressed.
