New Website

With a new year, we now have a brand new website. It's much easier to navigate and will work on mobile devices. We will be continuing to add information so check back for updates.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the Staff Holiday Luncheon. The teachers and staff loved it! If you didn't have a chance to pick up your serving dishes or crock pots, you are welcome to pick them up anytime from the teacher's lounge.

RESTAURANT NIGHT -JANUARY 24TH

Our next restaurant night is at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It's on Thursday, January 24, 2019 from 5:30-9:00pm for dine-in only.

BOX TOPS!

Continue saving your Box Tops for Education. The winter contest will end Friday, February 22, 2018.

Each Box Top turned in is equal to $.10 so we would like to encourage every family to participate.No need to wait until the deadline, you can send in your Box Tops at any time and as many times as you wish. The teacher that brings in the most Box Tops for Education will receive a $30 gift card to spend on the class. Your child’s teacher’s name needs to be with the Box Top submission to count towards the class totals. Please confirm the Box Top is not expired and the four letter product code is present. Otherwise, the Box Top will not count towards our goal. To learn more click on the link: Box Tops for Education. Thank you in advance for your support!
