We are excited to announce we are going to be doing a mini fall festival for our students on Friday, October 27. You can help us by donating candy for the booths. If you are able, please send in an unopened bag/s of individually wrapped candy. We have over 800 students and approximately 15 booths that will need the treats.
Kona Ice will be at our school on Oct 19. We ask that you pay ahead if possible as this is easier for the students and the staff.
