NEXT WEEK: December 16th - December 20th NEXT WEEK: December 16th - December 20th

Tis' the season to be giving...


The week before holiday break, the Ambassadors will be hosting a "flash" food and toiletries drive. Each grade level has been assigned specific non-perishable foods and toiletries to donate. Please see the above photo for the grade-level assignments.


There is a contest K-2 and 3-5 to see who can donate the most food/toiletry items and the grade-level that wins gets extra recess. We have a goal to collect 100 items per grade.


We hope everyone has an amazing winter break!
