 Hello Mustangs,
While it was a short week, it was an exciting one. Students will learn about the PTSO-sponsored fundraiser during their learning seminar class on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Additionally, students will be reminded about HORSE cards and the prizes they can win for excellent behavior by demonstrating the HORSE traits of Honesty, Ownership, Respect, Service, and Effort. Lastly, the PTSO will move Bingo Night from October 11, 2024, to November 15, 2024, so stay tuned for more information. As always, please contact us to share any feedback, questions, or concerns. Enjoy the weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.
