Book Swap
Dear Families,
We would like to hold a book swap for students prior to the end of the school year. We need your help to make this happen!
Please take a look through your home libraries and see if there are any picture, chapter, or nonfiction books that you would like to donate. We would like to try to collect enough books so that each child can select 1-2 to take home and read this summer. Your child can bring book donations to Mrs. Eagan or Mrs. Juckniewitz. Please email us with any questions!
Thank you!
Mrs. Eagan (eaganla@npenn.org) & Mrs. Juckniewitz (juckniwy@npenn.org)

We will be collecting clothes and soda tabs for charity. These items equate to points for your child's teams!
Please consider volunteering to help make Olympic Day a fun day for the whole school. We need about 100 volunteers to make the day run smoothly. There are opportunities to help with setup the evening before, during the event in both the morning and the afternoon, as well as clean up after school.
You can email katelyn.holstein@yahoo.com or contact Mr. Prykowski (prykowtj@npenn.org) with any questions.
