Library News
We celebrated Hispanic Heritage in the Library! Students learned the significance of honoring the history, culture & influence of past generations that came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central & South America.
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th.
Sept. 15th marks the independence anniversary of five countries: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras & Guatemala. It is followed by Mexico's Independence Day on Sept. 16th and Chile's on Sept. 18th. Dia de la Raza, or Columbus Day, which is on Oct. 12th, also falls in this 3o day period.
This year's theme is Unidos: Inclusivity for a stronger nation!
Grades 3-5 enjoyed learning about important people like Sylvia Mendez, Messi & Bad Bunny, while the younger grades danced to some fun music. Following are the links:

More than a Meal Application - Please Help Our Students!
Did you know that although these meals are available to students, it is important that families still complete applications for free and reduced-price meals? Free and reduced-price meal eligibility is a key factor in determining district funding for important programs for our students.
Please consider applying for free and reduced-price meal eligibility for this school year and help our district and school receive necessary funding. You can apply at More Than a Meal or pick up the paper application available in our school office.
