Lost and Found

The PTA room is the site for our school's lost and found. We currently have quite a lot of jackets and lunch boxes. These items are only kept for the nine week grading period, then they are donated to a local charity. If your student is missing something please come to the PTA room (Room 57 right across the from the cafeteria) and see if we have it. All unclaimed items will be donated on Monday November 8th.

Please also remember to label all of your student's personal belongings so that they may be returned when they are given to us.

Fun Friday's


PTA has begun Fun Friday's at the school. Two Friday's a month the administration draws four classes from a random drawing, and those classes receive a popcorn party furnished by the PTA. We want to recognize the hard work that our teachers and students put in each week, and give them a little something fun on Friday's. Each class will be recognized by the time the school year is over. So ask your student if they have been the lucky ones yet?!

Capri Sun and Drink Pouches

PTA is collecting Capri Sun and other drink pouches such as Kool-Aid , Honest Kids, and Minute Maid. We send them to a recycling company, and receive money for them. Not only are we earning money for our school, we are also helping the planet. Since the beginning of school we have recycled 3,000 drink pouches!

We collect them at lunch time, and from class parties and such. So if you would have any you would like to donate, please send them in with your child.

Help us earn some "Green" by being "Green"!
