February 4, 2016


 
Throughout the school year, items such as lunch boxes, books, sweatshirts and more are found and turned into the Office of Student Services. 

When several lost and found items are turned into OSS, we will periodically donate these items to area organizations. We plan to do this again soon, so we encourage your child to check OSS to see if his or her missing item may have been turned in.
