President's Message

It's gonna be MAY!

Well, it's already May, but I just can't resist saying it! The school year is coming to an end in just a few short weeks and we have a jam packed month! Kicking off the month with Teacher Appreciation, where we spoil our AMAZING teachers with snacks, gifts, goodies, and more! See the flyer for each day's unique activity. We also have state testing going on, the 5th graders going to science camp, Open House is May 15th from 6pm-7pm, random grade level performances, field day, and the last day of school?! We're booked! 

Keep an eye out for more detailed information regarding all the events we have planned and if you can volunteer whenever needed, PLEASE DO SO! We can't have these fun school wide events with out the amazing help of parent/guardian volunteers, so thank you in advance!


Thank you and have a great summer break!

We Need Your Volunteer Hours!
Teacher Appreciation Week!

Let's show our teachers how much we really appreciate them!

The Read-A-Thon Was a HUGE SUCCESS!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Read-A-Thon! We raised enough money to outfit both of the science labs with a shiny new set of tables and chairs! 

(photos of new equipment coming soon!)

Huge shout out to Wishbone Sports and you!

Thank you to everyone who has used a fundraising code when they signed up their child to play in one of the amazing activities Wishbone Sports has to offer! Because of their generosity and your signups, the school has made $1050 to date!

This Last Month in Photos

We were playing a bit of catch-up with our Cougar Chase prize winners, due to some rescheduling issues, but we finally had our top 2 Earners (and a friend) get their limo ride to lunch at Chilis with Mrs. Angelo! 

All the students who earned shaved ice got a delicious frozen treat thanks to Sweet Maui's Shave Ice!
