We have lots to celebrate!  We are having an after-school popcorn party on the playground tomorrow, Friday, November 1st. Stop by for popcorn, music, and fun! Volunteer here to help fill popcorn bags or help distribute.

Original Works return date has been extended until tomorrow!  You still have time to order beautiful gifts from their artwork.

Your student should have brought home an original work of art along with instructions how to turn it into a gift for family and friends. Your child's artwork can be turned into a myriad of gifts - mugs, notes, pads of paper, magnets, eyeglass clothes, jewelry, and so many other options. Parents, grandparents, and family members love these items and students are proud that their work is shared.

You can use artwork that will be sent home with the order packet or create your own at home. Order forms and payment are due November 1st. Payment is made on our website.

*This fundraiser remains due to the sentimental value of the items that are created. 

The Fall Book Fair starts this Monday, November 4 and runs through Thursday, November 8.
