WE ARE SO PROUD of our Spelling Bee competitors for a job well done! These students represented our school so very well and many went through several rounds in the competition. We thank the parents for driving, for pizza delivery, and most of all, many thanks to Mrs. Haeffner, for getting the students ready for this event with all of the after-school practices. We definitely appreciate her time and dedication!

REGISTRATION PACKETS for the 2019-20 school year are in today’s folder. Please complete & return these as soon as possible – the sooner the better! If your completed packet is returned by Wednesday, April 24 (when we come back from Easter break), your child will receive a bonus dress down pass (or a sweet treat for preschoolers).

LOOKING AHEAD TO EASTER: We will have our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Wednesday, April 17^th, before we break for the Holy Days and Easter. We are asking that you please send in one dozen candy filled eggs to your child’s classroom (no peanut butter, nothing that melts easily) This would be for grades PK-6^th. Please do not send these in until the week of April 15^th.  Also, you may remember the 7/8^th graders with a treat, since they will be hiding the eggs for everyone else, and won’t have a hunt of their own!
