 This was a gorgeous fall week! Thank you parents who joined our PTA meeting on Wednesday and for those who remembered to put their child in their polo shirts on Friday. These spirit days are an important part of our school community and we appreciate your family participating! We had a fantastic turnout for our 3rd grade family engagement event yesterday - the student ladybug exhibits!
We had a great walk, bike, and roll to school day! This is a great way to start the day with some light exercise, reduce traffic, and preserve our natural resources.
Remember that Monday, October 14th is a holiday for students as we honor Indigenous People’s Day. See the complete school year calendar.
