A Message from Mrs. Caudill
Our school is alive with thinking, leading, and learning! Staff and students are working collaboratively to ensure learning is deep, meaningful, and challenging. The first month of school has provided countless opportunities to develop relationships and establish culture and norms.
Thank you for sharing your children with us. It is an honor to learn, think, and grow with all of you. My door is always open and I encourage you to stop in or call to make an appointment to discuss any concern or suggestion to help make sure this is the best year yet!
Warmly,
Devon Caudill

BoxTops
It is time for the first BOXTOPS submission 2019/2020. By now your kid should have brought home a green flyer with a bag. It's very easy! Just cut your BOXTOPS, place them in the provided bag, write your kid's name and teacher on it and send them in!
The class with the most BOXTOPS will win extra recess and popsicles with Mrs. Caudill. Also, your kid's name will be entered in a drawing for a great bobcat prize. Please send your BOXTOPS by October 18th. You can also go to the BoxTops website and get coupons of your favorite products. (They change every month).
Important: BoxTops changed their Program. All participating brands changed the label over the summer. You still can clip and bring in “older” Labels but for the new ones you have to download the Boxtops app and scan the receipt!!! Don’t hesitate to contact Steffi Kluck at steffikluck27@gmail.com if you have any questions! Thank you so much for all your support !

- Pull ALL THE WAY forward to the farthest available volunteer.
- Try to stay BUMPER TO BUMPER in the loop, don’t leave space between cars.
