Most Awesome Teacher/Staff Parking Raffle
This week’s lucky winner is April Guy! Enjoy your week of parking a little closer to the building and in a very special place.

We were not able to finish the blacktop. We still have to do some touch up on the new paint and then draw/paint Hopscotch Alley. The backstop proved to be a little more time consuming than expected so the men working on that will be coming back. We also split up the trees...three around each playground instead of the original plan of having all 6 around the 3rd-4th playground.
We do need your help. Please make sure that the kids are NOT hanging on or doing anything to the newly planted trees.
Please enjoy the new picnic tables under the trees. They were put there for your enjoyment during our beautiful spring-like weather. Dr. Reid and I were lucky to be the ones to put them together. :)
