The School Year is in Full Swing

We are off to a great school year! Thanks for your help in making it so great. There is so much happening already so please keep your eye on the Parents page of the school website for the school calendar.

Also you can visit the Athletics page for all the up-to-date sports schedules. Right now we have students participating in Cross Country, Volleyball, Softball, and Soccer.

The school-wide fundraiser kicked off to a successful start. If you haven't heard we are "lucky ducks" to have such great students! Students who returned their mailer booklets received their first duck today. After the first item is sold the students can receive another duck. If you would like to shop online to help out our school go to www.gafundraising.com and enter the school code: 971556. Students with online sales can receive a third duck. We will start "feeding the ducks" on Monday with Silly Bands. Be sure to wear your duck until the fundraiser ends on August 25th.

This year our Bears of the Month program will focus on citizenship. The school mission is for every student to become a life long learner and a responsible citizen in their community. For the next few weeks we will talk with students about the qualities it takes to fulfil the school mission during Morning Meeting. The first quality of the Bears of the Month for August is leadership.

Please let us know if we can help you or your child or answer in questions.
