Our top ten fundraisers are:  Logan in Boyer’s class, Joe in Butler’s class, Jett in Carlisi’s class, Jocelyn in Lugo’s class, David in Alford’s class, Maddox in Jennette’s class, Harvey in Butler’s class, Saoirse in Marotta, Athanasia in Edmister’s class, and Rowan in Carlisi’s class.  But there are so many students who are close to the top ten number!

Volunteer Registration 

If you were an approved volunteer last year but have not renewed your volunteer status, the window to renew has been extended another week.  On Friday, Mrs. Robinson emailed all parents who were approved last year but have not renewed this year.  Be sure if you received this email to take a moment to complete your renewal this week!  After the deadline you will have to start all over.
