A flyer will be sent home in your child’s backpack on Monday. Ticket Sales are open - https://lucky-to-have-you.cheddarup.com/

MONDAY - SPIRIT DAY - SPRING DAY
MONDAY is the official FIRST DAY OF SPRING. We encourage all of our students to wear their favorite spring attire with lots of bright colors! Hats are allowable on this special spirit day.
Please remember to make sure the children also dress appropriately for the actual weather outside during recess. They may wear their spring clothes underneath their warmer outside gear.
Celebrate SPRING with us and brighten up the hallways and classrooms at Page Hilltop!
SPECIAL EVENTS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Exact dates will be sent home soon so that you may plan your personal / work schedules.
In the meantime, I suggest you check to make sure your CORI is still active and on file. CORIs are good 3 years from the day you first submitted your application. If you are unsure as to the status of your CORI, you may contact our school office at any time.
