Scholastic Book Fair Recap
We had an extremely successful book fair. We were able to raise over $1,000 for the library! The money raised goes towards purchasing books for students and activities like guest authors. Thank you all for your support!!!
A huge THANK YOU to our anonymous donor. With your support, we were able to help 12 students get a book of their own. Mrs. Darling told the students that there had been a donation to surprise a few students with a Book Fair book and that they had been chosen. We wish you could have seen the smiles and jumping for joy as they realized they got to keep the book. Many said, "I can keep this forever!" There were also 3 students who thanked her over and over again. She assured them that we would pass along their thank you. Our only regret is that the donor didn't get to see their excitement.
Winter Weather Gear
Now that winter is here, it is important for our students to be dressed for the weather. Students are scheduled for outdoor recess unless the temperature and/or wind chill is at or below 10 degrees. Students must come to school with
- a coat
- snow pants
- boots
- gloves or mittens
- a hat or headband.
Lunch Balances
There are a couple of different ways to pay for student breakfast/lunch balances.
- You can send money in an envelope to school with your students name on it. We will give it to the kitchen and it will get put on your child's account.
- You can set up an online account through MyMealtime and put money on their account. Check out the food services section of the school website for more information.
You will receive an email and a paper copy of any outstanding balances. If you need help, please reach out to the office.
