Help our PTA show our amazing teachers and staff how much they are appreciated by helping us stock a special fall snack cart for them with lots of delicious snacks and treats. If you would like to contribute, please sign up at this link -  PTA snack cart. Please drop the items off at the front office no later than Friday, November 1st and the PTA will deliver the goodies.  Thank you so much for your help and constant support of our hard working and wonderful staff.

 

Inflatables to Borrow 

Because we have met our Croc Mile goal, there will be a staff inflatable race in November.  If you have an inflatable costume we can borrow in November, we would be so appreciative.  We need about 15 more.

 

Croc Mile Updates

Did you know we are still collecting funds for the Croc Mile until October 30th? We only need $700 more to reach our stretch goal so the students can have a special Game Day!  That's less than $1 per student!  As of last week, all of the grade level winners are from Track 1!  We are encouraging our Track 3 and 4 classes to keep the competition strong for the next 2 weeks!   The leaderboard for this week is Mrs. Boyer’s class ($2427.50), Mrs. Carlisi’s class ($2257.00) and Ms. Jennette’s class ($1840.00).   We are so proud of all of the fundraising efforts and can't wait to celebrate all of our success!

All donations need to be brought to school no later than Wednesday, November 20.
