Upcoming Events and Reminders

November 9th is Make Up Picture Day. If you decide your child needs to have a retake, please email us to let us know.

Please label everything that comes to school with your child. Outerwear, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc. Sometimes they put their things in the wrong cubbies and this helps us figure it all out! A piece of painter or masking tape works fine.

The Turkey Drive (frozen turkeys donated to GRACE) is Friday Nov. 12. Drop off your frozen bird when you drop off your child. Click here to fill out the form to turn in with your turkey!
