February

20: Last day to purchase a yearbook (see information below)

We need your help!

If you have EMPTY 2-liter bottles, please consider donating them to the 5th grade Science classrooms. We need 12 total!

Thank you!

Due to the snow days that occurred just prior to the original final sales deadline of January 30, Jostens is providing one final opportunity to purchase a yearbook.

The new and final deadline to place your order is Friday, February 20 at midnight.

This will be the last chance to secure a copy, so please be sure to place your order before the deadline. You can place your order here: https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A09801070

To help keep our classrooms running smoothly, please take a moment to check your child’s supplies. Please be sure they have pencils, scissors, colored pencils, dry erase markers, and headphones for class. This helps them be ready to learn each day. Thank you for your continued support!

Please see the flyer about the 21 day challenge. You can go to the link below to register your child.
