Love painting, carving, or decorating pumpkins? We want you to let us show off your amazing pumpkin to all our families that come to our FREE Family Fall Night on October 9th from 5-7p.m.
Decorate your pumpkin at home, make sure your First AND Last name is on the back or bottom, drop it off to school October 6 – 8 and be entered in a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend at our Book Fair!
If you are dropping off a Jack-O-Lantern, we ask that you do not carve before the 5th (so it isn’t soggy before the event) and that you supply your own tea/candle light for the display.
The winner will be announced Friday morning at school and you will get to spend your certificate that day!

Bring the F U N back to READING!
Most of our 2nd through 5th grade students were introduced to our new reading incentive program: Beanstack this week! With reading challenges, students can pick their books, build a diverse reading log, hit big reading goals, and be rewarded for a job well done throughout the school year.
Just download the app to your device, let your student log in (using their Clever badge if they have one) and start logging your reading time!

Our Fall Book Fair begins on October 6th, to get ready for it, create your child’s Book Fair eWallet so they can shop cash-free, worry-free, and independently!
It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds!

We want to provide some clarity and reassurance following the unexpected building evacuation earlier today.
At approximately 1:30 p.m., our fire alarm system was activated due to some light smoke coming from hot oil in the popcorn machine. While there was no fire or danger, our alarms are designed to respond immediately to any potential smoke to ensure everyone's safety.
We understand that fire drills and evacuations can be unsettling, and we sincerely appreciate everyone's calm and orderly response. Safety is always our top priority, and we're proud of how quickly and efficiently the building was cleared.
