Let’s flood our atrium with love for our teachers! Honor your student’s teacher(s) for Teacher Appreciation next week with a $5 gift to Community Investment. When you make your gift, write a brief message in the ‘Comments’ field. We will honor every $5 donation with a paper heart and a kind note to your students’ favorite teacher(s). Make your gift and send your messages here OR cash and checks can be dropped off at the front desk if your student would like to write their own message.  

Thank you to the Johnson family for the US Flag donation! The flag is certified as having been flown over the US Capitol.

We have had many families tell us that we have flown the flags improperly for various reasons. We apologize for that. We are now managing the flags in a new and improved process. If you notice any issues with the flags please email Nancy Harris.

Please clean computers and indicate which child is returning the computer, include the charging cord and place everything in the box it was delivered in before dropping it off.
