ME to WE BAKE SALE– the Me to We Bake Sale raised $519! This money will be going towards the We Village in Kenya.
GLOW DANCE– What a great time we had last night. We had approximately 350 people dancing and enjoying the glow in our gym. It was so great seeing parents (yes, even parents) and kids of all ages have a great time dancing and moving. A huge thank you to those who volunteered at the front door, selling glow items and food, and setting up/cleaning up. We raised approximately $2200 for our PAC. Thanks again!!

Please write out your recipe(s) onto a recipe card and have your child give to their teacher NO LATER than March 20th. They will be collected and bound over the Spring Break, just in time for Mother’s Day. Cook Books will be $15 each and available for purchase online.
