Thank you everyone for a Rootin’ Tootin’ Hoedown of a Teacher Appreciation Week. The extra treats, precious gifts, and kind words brightened our week tremendously! We are blessed to be part of such a loving community!

We have one week left in the academic quarter and then we can focus on some fun! In particular, I want to give you an update about Jog-a-thon and invite you to join us that morning. Consult the schedule below to come cheer on your kids during their run. If you can, stay for a picnic lunch out on the back field with your child and their friends. In terms of our fundraising goal, we’ve reached 20% of our $40,000 goal. We have a big hill to climb to reach our goal, but we know that with your support, we can “climb” to our climbing structure goal!

Students who have reached their $100/student goal by next Friday will be entered into a drawing to spray Mr. Goffron with silly string. There will be 10 lucky winners and everyone will get to witness silly stringing during the picnic lunch at Jog-a-thon.
DONATE TO THE JOG-A-THON!
