Potential Security Cameras to be Added Around School
Options will be discussed at tonight's PTA meeting to include a possible vote on increasing the capital improvement budget to fund them. There will also be a potential vote on camera installation. The purpose of the cameras is to protect the safety and security of students, employees, ongoing monitoring of building exterior areas, and authorized visitors on school grounds.
Sixth grade parents are welcome and encouraged to submit a short message to their student(s) in the school yearbook. The message should be 2-3 sentences, with a 300-character limit to ensure space for all.
Please submit your message by completing all questions in this form.

A message from our art teacher, Anne Engnoth:
Hi, we have a need for (a lot of) magazines in the art room to use for collages. Any magazine will do (please avoid hunting magazines)! We can even use that pesky junk mail.
Also, we can always use empty toilet paper rolls, odds and ends from workbenches or kitchen junk drawers, old costume jewelry, old books, etc. So, if anyone is doing any spring cleaning yet, please keep Art in mind!
Thank you,
Anne Engnoth
Please drop off at the office labeled with Ms. Engnoth's name.
