EDIT: sorry yals, I promise this time is correct…

We hope to see many of you tomorrow for the teacher meet and greet! Here’s the layout of the playground- the bottom, by fence art, is where you’ll come in from Lander Street.

Meet the teacher is still Aug 31. However we’ve found out that the school may not have the postcards out beforehand. So we will post a map that lays it out when we can. But there will be tables with grade levels posted when you get there and the lists will be available! We- and the school- appreciate your patience on this!

We need you!! Our amazing enrichment coordinators are having to step away after fall enrichment.
If we want to keep enrichment going, we will need someone(s) to fill this roll! And we need to fill that in the next couple weeks in order to run a winter session!

Check out the PTA website for more information!
