Our Popcorn and Pickle Friday was very well received! We had so many popcorn orders that the popcorn popper couldn't keep up!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Hat Day! The PTO made $184.00. Everyone looked cute and cool in their hats!
It is time to support our teachers and staff as they meet with hundreds of students and families for Spring Conferences!
