Grab and Go Bags
We were able to give out over 230 breakfast/lunch free grab and go bags each day this week!

We are excited to see all of our students Tuesday morning virtually where we launch our journey of nurturing learners, and growing leaders.
And now, for this week’s riddle.

Join PTA!
Parents and families are an important aspect that help link our community together. That is what the P stands for in PTA after all: Parents!
Did you know that you can buy a PTA membership for anyone? Invite aunts, uncles, and grandparents to purchase a PTA membership, or even better purchase a membership for your student/students or pet.
In this socially distant world, it is even more important to be connected. We can do more together; such as supporting critical educational or COVID related needs of SME, taking action to support student success, building community, and advocating for all students.
Purchasing a membership is easy. Click here to purchase a 2020-2021 PTA Membership.
