Thank you from the PTA Book Fair Chair
We received the final numbers for the spring book fair. I wanted to share our profit and say a big thank you to all those that made it happen. We earned $5,434.17 in Scholastic Dollars.
These Scholastic Dollars will be used to purchase scholastic magazines for the students next year and resources for the teacher classrooms. The All for Books donations purchased 18 books for the library. Parents generously donated 30+ books for our teacher classrooms. None of this would have been possible without our lovely volunteers and parents. THANK YOU!!
I also wanted to give a shout out to all the companies that generously donated to our book fair raffle:
- Carpe Diem Comics
- Heard Museum
- Nothing Bundt Cakes - Allen
- City of Allen Skating Rink
- Flour Power
- The Dinosaur Company
Thank you!!!

The character trait for the month of April is Positive Attitude. Positive Attitude is a mental thought process of focusing on the bright side of life or finding the good in everything and everyone.
The way we think about ourselves, situations, upcoming events, etc. can affect the outcomes, our experiences, and the way we handle life. Having a positive attitude means that you approach life with confidence and optimism.
Talk with your family about different situations in which positive attitudes could make a different!
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~Winston Churchill
From the Nurse
As we welcome the warm weather, we encourage students to be mindful about using good hygiene practices, such as bathing daily and wearing clean clothes.
Some of our older students may even be ready for deodorant/antiperspirant products. Our kiddos work hard and play hard, and good personal hygiene is one of the best ways they can stay healthy.
