Upcoming Events and Reminders
October 25-29 is Red Ribbon Week! Each day our campus will have a theme and all students are encouraged to dress for the theme. The most important day for the theme is Friday, October 29th- Storybook Character day! Students are asked to come dressed in a costume of a storybook character of their choice and to bring the book that matches their character. Now is the time to plan for that special day!
Things We Need: We need disinfecting wipes. Any brand of bleach type wipes that we can use to sanitize the tables would be wonderful. Thank you!
