It is important that your son or daughter wear appropriate clothing such as tennis shoes and comfortable clothes for movement. Although water will be provided, your child should bring a bottle of water (with their name marked on it) and sunscreen!

We love and appreciate all our volunteers! Please save the date for our Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast to thank you for all your help and support - whether you stuffed Wednesday folders, shelved books, chaperoned field trips, or any other of the many tasks to help teachers and the school. The event will be the morning of June 3rd. More information coming soon!
