Staff Appreciation Week - May 3rd - 7th
We would like to shower our staff with appreciation during staff appreciation week. One way we are hoping to do this is by giving each staff member a gift card. If you could help us out by sending in a $10 gift card we would greatly appreciate it. All gift cards can be turned in to the office. Thank you for your help. More information will be coming about daily themes during the week and ways we can show our staff how much they mean to us!
Reminders:
Spring Picture Day is Thursday, April 8th. Picture forms are in the office and will be sent home.
Report Cards will be sent home Friday, April 9th.
