Brr it is cold outside! A reminder to please ensure that your child comes to school ready to go outside. Please also ensure that parents review the inclement weather procedures on the district website.
A huge thank you to our PAC and parent volunteers for the fabulous pancake breakfast that was prepared for the students and staff on Friday. A big shut out also goes out to Superstore for their generous donation of the pancake mix and syrup and also to the 240th Starbucks for the hot coffee that helped keep the volunteers warm!
This week we are collecting any children’s used books for a Used Book Sale that we will hold next Monday and Tuesday. Proceeds from this sale will go directly to Fun Day. All book donations can be brought to the front entrance.
