Principal information
Hi,
I am excited for the auction this weekend! I know it will be a huge success and tons of fun! Thanks to everyone who has been helping to organize it!
Please fill out this form regarding free and reduced lunch if you haven’t yet. Even if you do not qualify or do not have a need for scholarships or free lunch, this helps our school get more support from the state. This helps us provide lots of resources to all of our students, so it is important to have as many folks fill it out as possible. Please take just a couple minutes to fill it out by Monday 3/30! Thank you!
Reminder! We will be celebrating all of you that volunteer your time to our school on April 20 at 9-10 a.m. for a little Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast! We will have healthy breakfast items, pastries, donuts, and coffee and a little gift for your time! We hope to see you there and to give you some well deserved appreciation!
Have a great weekend!
Warmly,
Liz McFarland (she/her)
