Reminders
Cub Buck Store Wish List
Our students earn Cub Bucks for following school rules and being great Cubs! Every few weeks students have the opportunity to shop at the Cub Buck Store. We are always looking for items students would love. If you would like to donate, you can find our wish list here. Don't want to use Amazon? No problem! Purchase where you choose and send to our front office. Thank you for your support!
