RUNNING CLUB: A great way for students to be active and meet new friends. Running club dates for K-2 are: Sept. 20, Oct. 4, and Oct. 11. Grades 3-5 will run on Sept. 22, 29 and Oct 6. There will be no club on Sept. 27 due to picture day. The club begins right after school at 3:35 on the blacktop and children will need to be picked up by 4:30. No experience necessary. All levels of runners are welcome. Parent volunteers are needed to help with check-in/check-out, walking along the one-mile route to ensure the safety of the children, or even run with them. For more information, click on the following: Running Club Flyer Permission Slip Children will not be able to participate without a permission slip.
Save the Date – PICTURE DAY is coming up on September 27th!
Back by popular demand!!! Our “Stress Free Fundraiser” was so successful last year that we are doing it again this year! Like last year, we are striving for each family to donate 3 hours of your time and $30 towards our fundraising efforts. Look for more information to come home next week through backpack mail. Our PTA sponsors many great activities throughout the year, and we can’t do it without your time and money! Remember all donations towards our Stress Free Fundraiser are tax deductible, and 100% of the money you donate will go towards the great activities sponsored by our PTA! If you have any questions, please contact Suzanne Krause at svkrause@hotmail.com
