Fall book fair - Thank you! Fall book fair - Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who supported our Fall book fair with Literati! If your child ordered a book the expected arrival is 2 weeks; books will be delivered to the classroom. We will keep you posted as updates are provided. If you still have a gift card to use you can still shop through our Literati online store. We are excited to put our earnings to use in our school!


We can't wait to see everyone again at our Spring Scholastic book fair in March!

Holiday Teacher Wishlists Holiday Teacher Wishlists

With the holiday season approaching—and in response to family requests—the PTO partnered with teachers to create wish lists to help guide those who’d like to give a meaningful gift. The lists are organized by grade to make it easy to find your child’s teacher.

  • Where to find the lists: You can access each teacher’s wishlist on the shared Google Drive: Teacher Wishlists Folder

  • Participation is optional: Not all teachers chose to participate, so if a teacher doesn’t have a list, please don’t feel pressure — any gesture of thanks is appreciated, big or small.
