We are in need of volunteers to bring in a dessert for the teachers to share with staff on their birthday. Once a month we will collectively celebrate teacher birthdays. We are asking for multiple volunteers a month to keep the cost down. Please sign up to treat our teachers here or contact Julie Lowicki via email
E-Rate Program
Help us save money on our telephone and internet bills!  Look for an email on Monday to include the E-Rate Form to determine our school's eligibility, or get ahead of it and click HERE to fill it out now.  Forms can be returned to the front office - drop them off, or send them email. The forms will also be available at Curriculum nights on September 1 and 3. 
Thank you for your help!
