On Thursday, February 12th, our students will have their annual Friendship Party from 10:15-11:00. On this day, many students exchange traditional "Valentine's Day Cards." To help us keep all students safe, and to avoid any allergens, we ask that cards do not include food or snacks. Thank you for your help with this.

Heritage Festival is right around the corner on Thursday, January 22nd at 6PM! Check out a sneak peek of the travel itinerary for the event!

Help us plan for success! Please fill out this form below to help us get an idea of how many families will be able to join us for this free PTO community event.

There is still time to sign up to help set up for the night of the event. Sign Up Here.
