From Mrs. Mireles, Principal

Hi Roadrunner families!

Our Lost and Found bin is growing! If your child is missing a water bottle, jacket, or other items, please have them check the Lost & Found in the Cafeteria. Additionally, as the weather starts to cool down, please make sure you have labeled your children's jackets with their names in case it gets misplaced.

Have an aMAYzing Weekend!
