Thank you, J L Stevens!

Thank you, J L Stevens, for changing all of our classroom wall clocks to reflect the change to Daylight Saving Time and for replacing the batteries in them. This is a HUGE HUGE HUGE help to all of us, and we GREATLY appreciate you for helping us with this project.

The Wall of Fame for Shoe Tying for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Graders

If your Kinder, 1st Grader, and/or Second Grader can tie his/her shoes, please notify Coaches Mirizzi & Mayes because they want to honor this accomplishment in the school gym on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!


Once notified of the student's successful shoe-tying accomplishment, we will provide your student with a paper shoe to color, take the student's photo, and then post the photo and customized paper shoe on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!


It's going to be really exciting to see our young Tigers on the WALL OF FAME!

Tiger 5th Grade Thanks the ALE Auto Loan Volunteers!

Tiger 5th Graders are shown participating in an Authentic Learning Experience as part of their financial literacy unit.


We appreciate neighborhood financial experts Brian Prehn, Scott Taylor, Jorge Guerra, Toni Larsen, Chad Irish, and Divya Nair for their assistance. They acted as the auto loan officers to the students applying for “car loans.”


It was a great learning experience--maybe even for the volunteers!

Our clinic needs new or gently used leggings, shorts, and pants

Accidents happen! And, sometimes students need warm, dry clothing to finish out their school day.


Nurse Hensel, as the keeper of the wardrobe, has reported a need for small, medium and large girls' leggings. She also needs, for boys and/or girls, small, medium, and large athletic shorts and pants.


We would appreciate your keeping Nurse Hensel's needs in mind if you have gently used clothing that your children no longer need. Many thanks!

PTO Volunteer Sign-Up

You've been asking.....


.....and here it is! The PTO Volunteer Sign Up link is open!


There are so many ways to help our school, and there is more than just 1 page of ways to help in the Sign Up Genius.
