Ramadan ~ March 10th to April 9th
Ramadan is a holy month of worship, study of the Quran, prayer, and fasting. Ramadan occurs during the month in which Muslims believe the Quran began to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It is a joyous celebration for Muslims. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
“Ramadan Mubarak” and “Ramadan Kareem”. These are Arabic sayings that translate to “blessed Ramadan” and “generous Ramadan”

The Silent Auction was a huge success!
This week’s PTO Newsletter shared more about the success of the Silent Auction, what to know if you won an item or signed up for events, and how these donations will be used! Read it HERE! We are so grateful to the families, staff, teachers, and local businesses who contributed items and experiences - AND all of you who bid on items and bought tickets!
Silent Auction Event Tickets Extended until Friday, March 29
Some families asked if they could still purchase tickets to events, so we've extended the closing date for any Silent Auction events with tickets remaining until this Friday, March 29. You can purchase tickets to those events on the Silent Auction event website.
A BIG thank you to the PTO’s Silent Auction committee members Sarah Scott, Beth Hamilton, Amy Wells, Cara Keymer, Amy Elfstrand, Rebecca Jacobs, Katie Wozniak, Heather McDonald, and Meghan Aanenson for their effort making this fundraiser such a success!
