We hope to have the issue resolved by the end of tomorrow and plan to have school on Friday. If anything changes regarding Friday, we will let you know as quickly as possible. All staff should report to work by 9:00 am on Thursday, March 21st.
Hi families and friends,
Our school is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child's art. There are over 60 products and many are less than $15. These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Click on the link below and enter the online order code shown on your child's order form or to search for your child's artwork. Then, have fun shopping!
