PTO Run for Funds was a HUGE SUCCESS
Our students enjoyed today's Run For Funds. Early estimates are that we raised approximately $3,000 for the PTO.
Thank you to Dr. Moffitt for organizing this annual fundraiser and to all of the parent volunteers who assisted today!
Donations can be sent in next week as well.

WE'RE RIDE COMMENDED !!!
Only 28 public schools in RI are Commended, and only 18 elementary schools.
Commended Schools are the schools that are the highest performing in the state. We have worked hard as a learning community to achieve Commended Status again and we are proud of this accomplishment!
Last Spring, our 3rd and 4th graders participated in RICAS testing. We were impressed with the effort of our students during the four days of testing. RICAS results will be shared soon.
We are hopeful that we will retain our Commended Status.
