"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11." - Barack Obama

We hope this message finds you well!

We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to our Feeder Pattern Back to School Bash at Anderson Park. It was wonderful to see so many of you there, enjoying the day. Even though the rain made an unexpected appearance, the enthusiasm and joy of the event were truly uplifting.

As we approach the anniversary of September 11th, we want to take this time to remember and honor the lives lost and the heroes who emerged on that fateful day. It’s a moment for reflection on the values of courage, unity, and compassion.

This week, we continue with our beginning of the year testing, we have our Kindergarten Title 1 Back to School night, and we’re excited to celebrate the students who have exemplified our learner attributes for the month of August with a refreshing popsicle treat!

Be sure to stay in the know and use this week's Peek-at-the-Week to stay abreast of all the happenings!

We are so excited to be launching our first fundraiser of the year! A lot like Pop from years past, this fundraiser is super easy!

1. Parents will complete an online form and then fill out the envelope with their child's name, student prize code, and teacher's name and return to school.
2. Students that return the completed envelope will recieve a prize.

We appreciate your support in helping this be our best fundraiser yet!
