We have a lot of highlights with volunteer opportunities coming up soon, so check out these links:

TOMORROW, Tues. September 30th is picture day. Talk to Mme. Banks if you're able to help out with steering the students to where they need to be. [email protected]

Hey families! Did you know that our fundraiser isn't just about the money? It's also about teaching the students character-building skills that they can apply every day! Follow along on their Castle Quest as they learn the importance of things like Focus and Trustworthiness. They're watching these videos with their class during the day, but it doesn't hurt to watch them again as a family! Come back each day to see the story unfold!
