OUR NEW CAMPUS!
We've kicked off our Yankee Candle Fundraising! Yankee Candle Fundraising provides us with a platform to raise funds for our school! If each student sold 1 item we have the potential to earn approximately $10,000 for events, learning, and school necessities. Yankee Candle has made the fundraising extremely easy with their app. Simply register with the group number and start sharing with family, friends through text and/or social media.
Each student has an opportunity to earn prizes for their participation.
Thank you for your continued support we hope each student can participate! We look forward to an excellent school year with many joyful activities.
SHARK BITE STORE
Students earn Shark Bites throughout the school year for good behavior such as supporting each other, maintaining a positive attitude, being responsible, respecting themselves and others, and keeping high expectations. Every month our Shark Bite store visits each classroom and student can "purchase" items with their Shark Bites! Items in the Shark Bite have been purchased with PVO fund or donated by parents.
We are seeking volunteers to run the Shark Bite Store for each 4th Friday of the month beginning in September. If you are interested in covering a month or every month please let us know. Thank you in advance for all your help!
