Our car pick-up line only takes...
Yes, you read that right!
We know you are excited to see your children, but we ask that families not cross through the traffic area. This is a huge hindrance to the flow of vehicles crossing and driving and is not safe. We now have kids darting across the way themselves to run to their family vehicles.
Please cross at our designated crossing guard area.
Already, we are at 5 minutes--that's all! How lucky are we?!
I know we can all agree that if it takes a couple of extra minutes to wait for the crossing guard, it is worth someone's life and well-being.
Bake Sale Donations
It is time again for our annual bake sale, taking place after the Holiday Program! Families are asked to bring a baked item for the sale. Just like for the Back-to-School BBQ, we are asking families to donate items by their last name. Here’s the list:
Last name A-D: Pies or cakes
Last name E-H: Quick bread, sweet rolls, etc.
Last name I-M: Fudge, coated popcorn/pretzels, etc.
Last name N-R: Dessert bars, cupcakes, brownies, muffins
Last name S-Z: Cookies, jams, or jellies, salsas
If you have a favorite family holiday recipe, please feel free to bring that instead of the items listed above. Please drop off your items at school on Monday, December 19th before the end of the day.
All proceeds go to the Paonia Parents’ Organization (PPO)! The PPO supports the purchasing of playground equipment, student rewards (such as eagle gear, plaques, etc.), student field trips, and teacher supplies and appreciation gifts!
The Annual Paonia Rehab Center Gift Drive
If you can, please donate to us, items such as:
gloves

word search books
sugar-free candy
Broncos gear
pajamas
