We are up and running...and we have lots of information to share!
Thank you to those that were able to attend our back to school night on Tuesday. If you weren't able to, I encourage you to contact your child's teacher for any information that was shared so that you are up to speed.
I am sharing quite a bit of information below and through our attachments. Thank you for taking some time to read through it.
Have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends!
Slugger Assembly and Royals Spirit Day
On Monday, the students will be participating in an assembly featuring Sluggerrr (the Kansas City Royals mascot). Thank you to our PTO for funding this assembly. The Sluggerrr Teamwork Show is a high-energy assembly that teaches the kids the importance of teamwork. The goal is that our students will leave this assembly with a better understanding of how teammates work together, stick-up for each other and that with creative collaboration, everyone wins! This goes right along with our theme this year: ONE...Team.Vision.Goal.
In addition to this, we will have our first spirit day this year. Your child is welcome to dress in Royals colors!
Counselor's Corner
Did you know that Olathe School District offers up to 6 counseling sessions free of charge to Olathe students? Check out the Help Clinic brochure that is attached to learn more about this incredible service.
Noah's Bandage Project

The MP Fun Run is coming up soon. We will have a kickoff assembly on Friday, September 7th. Packets will come home on this day. The actual Fun Run is Friday, September 21st during your child’s regularly scheduled specials.
We are looking for MP families (or friends) to be business sponsors for our 2018-2019 MP Fun Run. We have different levels of sponsors available and would love for your help! Please see the attachment if you or someone you know are interested in this. Thank you!
