Weekly Scout Report ~ Sept. 29, 24

Thank you to all of the families who participated in the fundraiser. Preliminary numbers show we surpassed the fundraisers we have done in the past few years. I'm excited to share the final totals soon and a place for our school to use these funds.

I would like to give a huge shout out to the Nike PTO. Please ask your child about the NEW basketball hoops that were install on the playground. It is a HUGE improvement from the basketball hoops that were there before. PTO also purchased a variety of basketballs for a larger age range to use, meaning the balls are perfect sizes for smaller hands. WE are very fortunate to have a great PTO organization.

Nike is starting the candy collection for our Homecoming parade and Trunk or Treat. Students can bring in candy and feed the monster starting tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 30th.

We are excited to share the Homecoming Spirit Week flyer below. We cannot wait to see all of the fun, creative outfits!

Parents can either sign the form online, or come to the registration night.
