We are VERY excited for our Fun Run tomorrow! It looks like the weather will be great!
Please remember that families are welcome and encouraged to attend, but students will not be able to leave with parents from the Fun Run, they must be signed out in the office like usual.
We will warm up on the lawn in front of the school and then we will run around the east parking lot. The lot will be blocked off after morning drop-off.

PTO Fun Run Limo Ride today! How cool!!
Thanks to these students for raising so much money for our PTO!!! In total we had 48 students earn this reward!


On days like today, let's move the classroom outside!
