The Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success! Thank you for all the wonderful book donations for the classroom. They are very much appreciated by the students and myself and will be put to great use!
‘Tis the season! With the various illnesses around, please be sure to email/call the school to let us know if your child will be absent. Thanks much!
