Water Reminder
As the weather gets warmer we encourage everyone to stay well hydrated. Thus, while we do keep extra water in the nurse's office for times when refills are needed, we ask that students please remember to bring water with them every day. Please be sure to send sufficient water with your child. This may mean sending additional bottled water each day or even extras to keep in their classrooms to use as needed. For those sending in reusable water bottles, kindly keep them at a size for small hands.
Pancake Dinner
Thank you to all who supported our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Drive Thru Dinner. We sold out!! We are grateful for our volunteers, especially our coordinators, Christy Farr and Natty Jones. Fantastic job!
Good stewards!

School Store - Only TWO more opportunities to shop!
This quarter, some of our middle school students are operating a school store. They are learning how to take inventory, markup items for profit, and manage the ins and outs of a business. The school store will be open every Wednesday during their elective class time. Items cost anywhere from 25 cents to $8. Please encourage your children to visit the school store! Kindly send in an envelope with money, marked with your child’s name and “School Store” so the middle schoolers know who to expect this week.
