Please be sure to mark them on the pink sheet that went home in your child's Friday Folder last week! Need an extra one? Extra sheets are available in the front office. All completed sheets should be returned to school by the end of February. Thank you KINDly!
Looking Ahead: Please mark your calendars for our annual Fill The Bus event, sponsored by our District Character Education Committee. We will be collecting canned goods starting Monday, March 3, through Wednesday, March 12. Caps For A Cause will take place on Friday, March 7. Students who bring a canned good to school on Friday, March 7, can wear a hat at school that day!
