Survey Coming
The PTO will be sending home an evaluation of this year’s activities later this week.  Please take a few moments to jot down your evaluation.  This information will be very helpful in planning next year’s activities.  There will also be a space where you can make suggestions for future projects/events.  We try to offer a variety of fun and enriching programs and your input is greatly welcomed!

Celebration Book Club
Our Book Club is on-going.  If you would like to commemorate a special day in your child’s life…birthday, kindergarten promotion or graduation from elementary school, why not buy a book for the library?  Your child’s name will be put on a nameplate in the front cover of the book.  This is a great program.  Please contact Mrs. Patrick in the library to pick out a book.

Boxtops for Education
Please keep clipping!  This is a great fundraiser for our school and the tops are on many products that your family uses everyday…cereal, ziplocks, etc.  Send in yours via backpack express.  Thanks!!!
