5th Grade went to Boda Borg and the 5th grade Bake Sale
The 5th graders thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Boda Borg! We are very grateful to the PTO for funding this trip.
5th grade families and the PTO will be hosting a Bake Sale at Hardy on Election Day. You will be able to purchase yummy treats after voting. Proceeds will help fund 5th grade Moving On activities in the Spring.
Window Repair and Potential Entry Exit Door Temporary Shift
Doors 7 and 9 may be coned off. If so, use the Gym Doors.
Maintenance will deliver a lift on Monday. They will be using the lift to repair windows on the 3rd floor. The work will be completed during early morning hours, prior to students entering the school. However, the lift may be located on the playground for the week. This may impact the use of doors 7 and 9. These are the 4th and 5th grade entry doors. Please, watch for signage, indicating temporary door shifts.
