Thank you to the parents and community members helping with Field Day! Your participation in facilitating the stations made the day a massive success for all students.
We know you have very busy lives, but you took time out of your day to come and volunteer. Your help was invaluable, from setting up and running events to cleaning up at the end of the day.
The students loved seeing their parents there, and they appreciated your support. Field Day is a special day for our school community, and it would not have been the same without you.
We want to thank our 6th-grade students for taking the time to support Field Day by helping to facilitate the stations for the younger students. We appreciate the students taking leadership roles to support the adults at the stations.
On behalf of the entire staff and student body, we express our sincere gratitude for your help. We are so lucky to have such supportive students, caregivers, and community members!

Hello!
Election Day, and therefore the bake sale, is rapidly approaching!! Do your civic duty and vote, but also please consider volunteering your time to help out at our bake sale. This is a major fundraiser for the PTA and it can only be successful with your help. The kids have off of school that day, so please consider having them join you and help sell! If you cannot come out to help, we would love donations of baked goods. You may drop them off at the school on Monday or Tuesday, or we can make other arrangements.
