Check out the pictures from a special field trip held for the “Fun Fitness” club members that meet twice a week to learn about making healthy choices when it comes to nutrition and fitness. These kids visited Pump It Up as a reward for their hard work during recess and lunch. Thank you to Doug and his crew for working with our students!

Please complete the “My School, My Voice” survey found here. Paper copies of the same survey went home on Wednesday, April 26. Extra paper copies are available in the office or from your child’s teacher. Save paper and take the online survey instead!

When we have received 90% of completed surveys, students will earn a dress down day!

Surveys are due May 9.
