President's Message

Happy Fall everyone!

I truly hope everyone has had a great year so far and with all that is coming up, I know its only going to get better! We have our BIGGEST FUNDRAISER of the year going on right now and we need your help to reach our goal! Take a look at the flyers below and all the awesome prizes your students can win! We also have a new event this month, in place of Trunk or Treat, so take a look at what is sure to be a spooktacular night for the family! Don't forget about fall conferences starting 10/6 through 10/17, early 1:30 release each day for ALL STUDENTS!

As always, we count on volunteers to help us run all these events and we can't say thank you enough to everyone who has helped in one way or another. Please consider volunteering for upcoming events, whether they be for the PTA or in class, the school needs your help to make things possible!!!

Thank you and have a safe and Happy Halloween!
