Teacher Wishlists

As we settle into the school year, our homeroom teachers have thoughtfully prepared "Wish Lists" for their classrooms, which will be shared by the room parents. If you’d like to extend your support to our Specialist teachers, they’ve also created "Wish Lists" for their classrooms, which you can find linked below. Your generosity in contributing to these lists helps enrich the learning experience for all of our students. Thank you!
