Families of 3rd and 4th Graders: Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th is your child's PM1 testing for Reading and Math. Please have your child eat a healthy breakfast and get to school on time. Students will not be able to enter class once a test session has started if they are late. Thank you for your support!

Let’s refresh our BIG KID book section in the Lower Campus Library!

With the addition of 4th and 5th grade students into our Lower Campus Library, our upper level chapter book section is in need of some more BIG BOOKS.

We are writing some grants to secure additional funding but it will be weeks (maybe months) before those results are announced. Can you help RIGHT NOW, with the donation of a book or two from the Amazon WISH list below? Scroll thru and have your kiddo pick out a favorite. If you make sure to include the "gift" option and type in your student's name, we will make sure to include a donation nameplate in the book and a follow up thank you to your family.

💚Thank you in advance for your support of literacy 💚
