We just have one week to go before families come back to drop off supplies! Don’t forget to stop by on Friday (from 8 am - 12 pm) if you want to visit the teachers and drop off supplies. Our hallway is getting put back together (thank you, Jose Luis!). The demo is done, as is the sheetrock, and painting. Monday and Tuesday, all fire alarm speakers will be put back and we will have all new LED lighting installed in the hallway. This will make it energy efficient and bright!! We need your help with clean up on Wednesday. If you have time on Wednesday or Thursday, please come by to help us with removing the protective material from the hallway, sweeping, and dusting, dusting, dusting! We will be at the school from 7:30 - 3:30 so come anytime...but make sure to wear your grubby clothes. We will provide dust masks and gloves.

We are asking for A LOT of volunteer help for this next week and we really appreciate any assistance that you can provide. From taking Mr. Kelah to get groceries (see request below) to dusting at the school and making everything shine for the first day of school...we couldn’t do it without you. So, thank you...and let us know if you can help.

Have a blessed week!
