PRE PTO Community Service with The Giving Brick
Come play with us as we sort and sift through LEGO® pieces. We will be helping The Giving Brick with the first step to recycle bricks into retail- quality sets to give them to kids in foster care. The Giving Brick is a Kansas City-based, non-profit organization that wants and needs your old LEGO® pieces. Sign up quickly, this one has limited opportunities and it's right around the corner.
Our event will be Wednesday, January 15th from 3:50-5pm
SIGN UP and Indicate: Child’s Name – grade & teacher

All students are welcome to bring any LEGO® unwanted sets, pieces, and manuals to school.
One Book, One School
Today we revealed the title of our book for the One Book, One School reading program. Your oldest child will bring home your family's copy of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane for your family to begin reading this weekend. Attached is the letter and reading schedule that will also come home. We hope families enjoy this time reading together throughout the next few weeks. Thank you for supporting our love of reading great books!
