Our next Spirit Day Friday is May 2

The theme is Hat Day

Wear your favorite, craziest or funniest hat! Earth Day designed hats are strongly encouraged!

Here is the schedule for the entire year.

We are partnering with Hannaford Grocery Stores for the Hannaford Helps Schools program, running from March 16 to June 7! Through this program, shoppers will earn 3 School Dollars for every 4 participating products purchased. At checkout, customers will receive a School Dollar printout they can redeem online to donate to any school in this program.

To redeem School Dollars, all shoppers need to do is enter the unique printout code and store number on the Hannaford Helps Schools program website and select their school. Each School Dollar printout has a QR code that will bring shoppers directly to this link, ensuring that redeeming School Dollars is as easy as possible.

As the school year starts winding down, we start gearing up! Here’s what’s new with the PTA:

Teacher Appreciation Week:

Help us celebrate our amazing staff with our annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast on Wednesday 5/7 during late start! Sign up to donate HERE
