We would love it if you and your child would leave messages of support and appreciation on the sidewalk so the staff can enter the building on a positive note on Monday, May 9th!   Finally, as we prepare to shower our staff with love during teacher appreciation, check out some of our staff's favorite things by clicking HERE   EOG Proctors needed  Our End of Grade tests in grades 3-5 are quickly approaching and we are in need of proctors to help with administration.
