Spirit Week
This coming week will be a Spirit Week. Students are encouraged to participate if they wish. As a reminder, headgear, flags, facepaint of any sort, and "costumes," such as onesies, are not allowed. Please reference the school dress code found in the HANDBOOK if there are questions. We are hoping to have a fun, community building experience and wish to avoid disruptive behaviors and actions to take away from the intention of these days.
Multi-Service Holiday Collection
We did it again! Thank you to EVERYONE who contributed to our Boyertown Multi-Service holiday collection this year! The MSE community fulfilled the wishes of 25 children from 10 different families in our Boyertown community. In addition to several items of clothing and shoes, we collected a desk, desk chair, activity table, three bikes, several packs of diapers and wipes, formula, numerous board games, crafts, miscellaneous toys, and many books. Our community’s generosity is amazing. Thank you again and have a wonderful holiday season!
