Early Release Day

Our next Early Release Day is Wednesday, February 8th and school will dismiss at 12:15 P.M.

Apex Remix Fundraiser:

Mark your calendars for our largest fundraiser of the year –Apex Remix on February 13th-24th. I’m sure you’ve heard your child come home and talk about all the awesome things they are doing in STEAM with Mr. Richwalder this year. We would not have been able to fund that program in the way we have without the support of the PTA. Mr. Richwalder has applied for numerous special project grants to fund items for the STEAM lab, in addition to the line item that was approved at the beginning of the school year. STEAM is just one of the many ways the PTA supports our school. Please click HERE for more information about why we partner with Apex and how the PTA supports our school. More information about the actual event and processes and procedures will come home in the next week.
