child's classroom teacher. We like to cover many of the activities that happen
throughout the year.
Please send pictures to your child's teacher. Be sure to
identify the class and the activity on the back of the photo. Photos cannot be returned. Pictures will not be published without permission from the
parents.
Contact your child's teacher to help create the classroom yearbook page.

Box Tops for Education and Campbell Soup Labels
Please save your coupons on General Mills box tops and Campbell Soup Labels. Please
take time to trim your labels before sending them to school. The
money we receive goes into the classrooms and the teachers decide how it
is spent. We are able to "purchase" some great equipment for our
school using the labels. Labels can be turned into your child's teacher or in a box in the front office.

Lost & Found
We are always finding clothing and personal items left by children throughout the school. If your child is missing something, please have them check the lost & found in the cafeteria. Unclaimed clothing is given to charity.
