PTA Meeting

Next PTA Meeting May 20th, 6:45 p.m.: Understanding Anxiety in Students

Join us for our final PTA meeting of the year for a special presentation by Haley Kroll, a Registered Art Therapist from Kaleidoscope Art Therapy. Drawing on her six years of experience working within the school system, Haley will help us decode the complex ways anxiety presents in students.

Please help us celebrate our 6th Graders! Consider making a donation of $32 for the class of 2032!

Our amazing 6th graders are officially heading to middle school, and we want to send them off with a bang! To celebrate this huge milestone, we’re planning an unforgettable carnival filled with food, games, entertainment, and custom class t-shirts.

Because this celebration is entirely community-funded, we need your help to make the magic happen!

 The "Class of 2032" Challenge

In honor of their graduation year, we are inviting families and friends to consider a $32 donation for the Class of 2032!

Of course, whether it’s $5 or $50, every single dollar goes directly toward giving these students a well-deserved celebration.

2. Spread the Word: Share this post on social media!
