FEATURED EVENT:
Kindergarten Fair
Hundreds of incoming kindergartners and their family members attended the first of two District Kindergarten Fairs on Wednesday, April 6, at Lincoln Street Elementary School. Excitement was definitely in the air as students climbed aboard a school bus, ate a real school lunch, got their faces painted, interacted with School Resource Officers, and much more. If you missed the first Kindergarten Fair, please plan to attend the second one on Friday, April 22, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Witch Hazel Elementary School, 4950 SE Davis Road.
