Boxtops - Please continue to bring in your boxtops! We have made almost $2,000 for our school this year with boxtops! Great work!

Yearbook
We have collected some 5th grade baby pictures from the parents of your students. We have only received about 20 so far and are concerned that more parents/5th grade students may like to have their baby picture included and haven't submitted them yet. The deadline was two days ago but we would like to extend the due date to May 1st !!! We would like to have parents email those digital baby pictures to the following email address: tawnigall@gmail.com. If the parents do not have digital photographs, they can put the baby photograph in an envelope with their teacher's name (also please include the student's name) and bring it to the office and ask the office staff to put it in the "Parent Club Box". This way we can scan the photo ourselves and have them returned to the correct teacher's box.

If you have 5th Grade Band, Field Trip or Assembly pictures (i.e. Magician, Chinese acrobats, etc) that you would like to be considered for the Yearbook please email them to Tawni Gall (tawnigall@gmail.com) or place them on a CD and give them to the office staff to be put in the Parent Club box. Please include the grade and the name of the event when you submit photos.
