Pajama Drive
Thank you to all who have donated pajamas already this week! We have one more week to bring in pajamas as the drive is ending next Friday. Our receiving school has a population of just over 200 students and our goal is to provide a new pair of pajamas to every student there! (Just like we did last year!) We currently have about 50 pairs of pajamas and we are in special need of pajamas from our older grades! Take advantage of those Black Friday deals this week and let's show our community some love and support as the Holidays approach! Thank you for your ongoing support.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is bursting at the seams! If you are attending any event taking place next week, please be sure to check out the lost and found located outside of the office, just inside of the front doors. We would love to reunite these items with the families before the Holidays when they move on to their next adventure. (ie: donations)!
Scholastic Book Fair next week!
The Scholastic Book Fair will be open for business all of next week! This exciting event is a wonderful opportunity to spark a love of reading while supporting our school. Each class will be given an opportunity to visit the fair and purchase items of interest. Families are also invited to attend on Tuesday, December 3rd from 4:00-7:00pm and on Wednesday, December 4th for one hour after the concert. Purchases can be made with cash, credit or debit. Every purchase helps fund new resources for our school! We can't wait to see you there and share the joy of books with your family!
