Fall Fundraiser - Orders and Payments Due Monday!
All fundraiser order forms and payments must be submitted by Monday, October 15th.
Do not miss your final opportunity to order some great items and help our school in the process. We are so appreciative of your support as we raise money for additional preschool classroom supplies and furnishings and additional technology in our elementary.
There are so many great things to purchase from cookie dough, cakes, popcorn, and many more fun treats! You can also order many additional products from the online store.
We will have our final daily drawing for a great prize on Monday! They are also earning other great prizes for the number of items sold, including Jungle Patrol and the money machine just to name a few!!
Our biggest selling class (by percentage) - one preschool and one elementary - will win a pizza and cookie party for the entire class! The two biggest sellers will additionally choose from one of three prizes:
- $100 of school uniform / spirit apparel
- Free Friday catered lunch program for November and December plus free registration for November Parent's Night Out
- 2 free months of afterschool club - including woodworking, DIY, basketball, volleyball, STEAM, or drama.
Happy selling and thank you for your support of our school!

Fall Festival - Saturday, October 27th
Enjoy carnival style games, cake walk, visit from the Fire Department, face painting, snacks, and much more! This is a completely free event for all families. We appreciate any donations of candy, small prizes, cakes/baked goods for cake walk, and any donations for our raffle table. Raffle tickets will be sold for $2/ticket. We will also have Kona Ice available for sale. In addition, you can sign up to work a game if you are interested.
We hope that everyone plans to attend this fun day, and we appreciate your support with your donations!
As a reminder, students will not be permitted to wear costumes to school on October 31st.
Character Counts
Each elementary student will be bringing home a family character packet this week with activities to discuss honesty. I hope that you find this a helpful tool; we will continue sending these with many different traits to assist with family discussions. We have an amazing group of students and want to help them to be the best that they can be!
