VOLUNTEERS FOR FAMILY FUN NIGHT:
The PTO is looking for volunteers to help serve the food. The shifts will be an hour long so
you will have time to volunteer and still enjoy the night with your child. If you are able to
volunteer please email: [email protected]
DONATIONS:
We need empty paper towel rolls and gently used children’s books for Family Fun Night. If
you have these items that you would like to donate, please send them to school. Thank you
for your support!
EXTRA PANTS AND SOCKS:
The snow is starting to melt on the playground and we have many students coming in with
wet pants and socks. Please send an extra pair of pants and socks in their backpacks in case
they need to change. Thank you!
HOT LUNCH ACCOUNTS:
There are 19 days of school lunch remaining as of Monday, April 29th. If you want to know
the balance in your child’s account, please contact the office.
MEDICATIONS:
If your child has medication (prescription or nonprescription) at school it has to be
picked up by Friday, May 31st or it will be discarded. We cannot send the medication home
with your child. It has to be picked up by a parent.
