Home of the Little Giants - May 20, 2022
Each week the Little Giant News is published through an online Smore newsletter. In it, you will find important school and community information. Please take a moment each week to read and review this newsletter so that you can stay up to date on important events that are happening in your school and school district.

We will serve a sack lunch with Peanut Butter & Jelly as the main entree. If your child does not like Peanut Butter & Jelly, you may send in a lunch if you would like.
Congratulations to our Little Giants of the Week!
