We are looking forward to our GLOW DANCE on March 22nd. The D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) will be sponsoring this event for our school. This is FREE event for our families to drive away the Winter BLAHS! Fifth Grade Parents are helping with the concession stand, here's the link for signing up to help: http://signup.com/go/LvsZpoc
Thursday, March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day! To help raise awareness, the high school Civil Rights Team is inviting and encouraging everyone in the district and community to wear crazy or bright colored socks and clothing for the #LotsOfSocks movement. The idea is to draw attention through bright colors and begin a conversation about Down Syndrome. Check out the link below for further information and ideas! Thank you all in advance for your support
Book Fair: This annual event is a lot of fun, but it also requires a lot of parent support. We have many opportunities for you to help and get involved. Here's a link to this year's book fair event: http://signup.com/go/RFbYmEh
K-Kids: Remember, the month of March is starting our Animal Orphanage Drive for the OT Orphanage.
