Lunchroom Takeover #1 was a hit!

On September 25, we kicked off our first Lunchroom Takeover of the year by treating all three grade levels to their choice of chips during lunch!

A huge thank you to our volunteers who helped hand everything out and make the day a little more fun for our students. We appreciate you!

More information about our October Lunchroom Takeover will be shared in this week’s member newsletter.

Remember — PTA members receive our monthly newsletter first, along with updates on upcoming activities and volunteer opportunities.
