Donuts with Dads
This
Friday is Donuts with Dads from 7:30-8:25am.
The title says dads, but students are welcome to invite anyone special
to sit with them and share in the treats and conversation. Traffic will be a little crazy that day, so
please park a block or 2 away if you are able.
On this day, STAFF will park on the playground blacktop, please keep the
entrance to that area unblocked. For
those of you who are new to this activity, PTO will provide donuts etc… and
kids and their special adult come into the gym and sit and enjoy the time
together before school. We hope to see
you there!
Planning is underway for the
2017-18 school year!
If you and your family are
planning to move over the summer and will not be returning to our school,
please let us know as soon as possible.
Mark Your Calendars!
