The Spring Book Fair is just days away!
The Book Fair encourages students to read AND raises much needed funds for our school. To help ensure a smooth and safe shopping experience, no cash will be accepted at the Book Fair. All students must have a Scholastic eWallet set up in order to shop. Setting up an eWallet is quick and easy and allows students to shop independently without needing to keep up with cash.

On Friday, our 5th graders participated in a special Positive Influence Breakfast. Each student invited someone who has made a positive impact in their life to join them for this memorable event.Our wonderful PTO provided a hot breakfast while students shared heartfelt words about the people who inspire and support them. We also heard from Ms. Annette, who spoke about what it means to be a positive influence and the lasting impact it can have on others. It was a truly special morning celebrating connection, gratitude, and the power of making a difference.
