PTO and EDI
We had our first PTO meeting last week and it was very well attended. Thank you for your support! This month PTO will be helping with school pictures and our annual "Pumpkin Patch" event. Your students will get more information in the coming weeks, but plan on sending a decorated pumpkin with your child on Wednesday, October 25th for this fun event. We would love to see you for our October PTO meeting, Tuesday, October 24th at 6:30. The focus of this meeting will be upcoming PTO events as well as curriculum overview.
The PBIS character trait of the month for October is Respect: Treating someone in a way that shows you care about their feeling, treat others the way you want to be treated.
The EDI initiative for the month of October is Multicultural Folk Tales
