Trunk or Treat WINNERS!

Most Candy Donated: 5th Grade!

Congratulations to our 5th graders! They brought in the most pounds of candy, earning them an awesome POPCORN PARTY with various fun and delicious toppings to choose from. Date TBD.

Best Trunk: Angela Garcia w/ Little Red Robin Hood theme

Congratulations Angela! We will be in touch with your prize soon. Additionally, we will conduct a random drawing for two other prizes among the remaining participants, so stay tuned for that announcement.

PTO Community Updates

STAFF APPRECIATION: The season of thanks is here, and we need YOUR help in expressing our gratitude to our incredible teachers and staff. Please CLICK HERE to show appreciation to a staff member (or 2... or more) and let them know how much they mean to you. We will use this information to update our staff appreciation wall, so thank you for your assistance in this endeavor.

STAFF'S FAVORITE THINGS: We understand that with the upcoming holidays, you may be interested in treating the teachers and staff to a small gift. We reached out to the staff, and they have filled out a form that not only highlights their favorite things but also indicates their "no thank you" items. If they have responded, you can find their lists on our website under 'Community' or by clicking HERE.

STUDENT APPRECIATION

Several parent and staff volunteers contributed to writing uplifting notes or creating pictures for our 'Take What You Need' boards, strategically placed throughout the school. The purpose of these notes is to boost student morale and provide a pick-me-up when needed. We plan to replenish these boards throughout the entire school year.
