🤩 Our Fall Book Fair starts in 1 week! Set your child’s eWallet up today to avoid sending cash or waiting for your check to clear! It’s just like a gift card - you load a set amount & it is redeemed when your child shops at the Book Fair.

‼️ If your child has an eWallet & would like to purchase Croc Charms ($.50) or lollipops ($.25), they MUST bring cash or quarters! Change CANNOT be given from eWallet. Any balance will carry over to be used at a later fair. 💰

👇🏼 Use the link below for more info & to set up an eWallet today! If you are unable to print the barcode - that’s no problem - we can look it up on the register when your child shops! 🔍

💜💛 Please join us for the first PTO meeting of the year! Meetings typically last about an hour & we love seeing new faces and hearing new ideas and feedback!

Attending a meeting does not commit you to anything. 😉

🎨 Our Chalk the Walk stations are all set up!

🌼 There is a table outside both the main entrance and the bus entrance!

🤩 Help us welcome our students and staff back to school by decorating the sidewalks around our school with positive messages and drawings!

🖍️ Get your creative juices flowing and stop by anytime from 10am - 6pm today, Tuesday, August 25th to decorate any of the sidewalks at the school! Everyone is welcome - families, friends & the community!

❌ Please do not draw with chalk near the doors so we track as little chalk inside as possible. There will be signs posted. Thank you! 😊
