There are some new things in the upcoming events, and of course some new photos, but that's about it. The rest is a repeat from last week:)
Teacher (staff) appreciation week is coming up the week of May 7! Our amazing PTO is planning some really nice things for us and would appreciate some help. Please click on the following link to sign up to volunteer! https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/9040B4CACA92AA64-teacher1
Also the week of May 7, we are having a spring canned food drive! Please bring your non-perishable donations to "Help Mom's Feed Their Kids!" (Sponsored by our own Ms. Bottema!)
The annual North Plains garage sale is happening on May 5 and our 5th grade parents are using this as a fundraiser for the Washington, D.C. trip! You may bring donated items to the school on Thursday May 3 between 6 and 7. They really need your help! The day of the sale there will be water, pita bread and hummus, and veggies for sale. Come support your graduating class of 2025 as they fund raise for this amazing trip to D.C.!
Have a wonderful weekend!
