Spirit Week Is Next Week!
Our amazing PTA has planned a fun week of spirit themes for our Otters! We’ll wrap up the week with Character Day, when students can dress up as their favorite book character.
As you plan your student’s costume, please remember:
🚫 No gore or scary graphic details
🚫 No masks or face coverings
🚫 No weapons
We can’t wait to see all the creative characters our Otters bring to life! Let’s make it a fun week!
