It's Pretzel Time! First Pretzel Day - 9/27!


The 5th Grade is once again selling pretzels throughout the year in support of their 5th grade trip! They are offering the option of prepaying for pretzels to cover the entire year! This means no more last-minute scrambling for money before the bus arrives and no more waiting in line only to find that we've sold out! Pretzel sales will begin on Friday, September 27th, and run on select Fridays each month. A limited number of pretzels will be available for sale in the glass corridor before school for $2 each.


To sign up return the form below or click here! Pretzel days have been added to our google calendar.



If you have any questions - please email Michelle Draper: leahmichelledraper@gmail.com (Please be sure to put "Pretzels" in the subject line)

PTO Membership - Join Us!


One of the biggest helps to us in getting off the ground for the year is joining our PTO as members. The more families participating as members in our PTO, the more perspectives we can receive in helping us design events for our school, support our teacher and staff community, and allocate funds towards school projects.


Please consider joining us - membership is $20 per family. Click here to join and come learn more about us at our PTO Meeting on September 20 (7pm).


And thank you to the 142 families that have joined us to date!

Our 5th grade committee is kicking off a shoe-drive fundraiser at the Back to School Picnic. Have gently used shoes in your closet no one is wearing? Drop them off at the back-to-school picnic. The 5th grade is working with an organization who will purchase these shoes from our 5th grade committee and work with micro-entrepreneurs world-wide to bring shoes to needed communities.
