Elementary T-Shirts!
Now that we have given out our new HomeLink Lynx T-shirts to our 6th-12th grade students, we are now asking for T-shirt sizes for our K-5 Students. Our goal is to give a FREE new HomeLink Lynx T-shirt to every student in the school.
Please fill out the survey that Mr. Donlon emailed last week to our elementary parents for each of your students who are in grades Kindergarten through 5th. Do not fill this out for students who are not enrolled with HomeLink at this time.

PTO News
The PTO is working hard to bring our community together! First, we’ve applied for 501(c)(3) status (Federal Non-Profit), which will make it easier to get big donations.
Second, we’ve opened up a Square store so everything we offer can be paid for online-- anywhere, anytime!
Third, we’ve got some great new officers that bring a vibrant energy. And lastly, we’re working on some fun events and contests throughout the school year!
Get your membership or donate! Remember, your membership counts as one month’s volunteer hours!
