Tomorrow is Costume Day! Remember that all costumes must be school-appropriate, not cover the face, and have no props that could be considered dangerous. Also, inflatable costumes are not permitted at school due to issues with kids moving through hallways, getting in and out of desks, on and off the bus, etc.

Just a reminder to please turn in any unsold meat raffle tickets to the office. We do have some people waiting to purchase unsold ones. Thank you for your help and support.
Mrs. Quinn's class received their reward of a movie and popcorn for being the top 4th grade class for our Paw-Print fundraiser! Thank you to all who helped us raise money for field trips, student, teacher, and office supplies and materials, and more!
