PTSA Funded Curriculum Enhancement
|
On Monday, December 17th, Toymaker Rick Hartman engaged Kindergarteners in hands-on woodworking projects. Our students used wood, nails, hammers, saws and imagination to make their very own toys. "Thank you, tree!"

Curriculum Enhancement (CE)
works with teachers to bring in the
best guest speakers, scientists, laboratory activities, performers, and musicians
for enhanced learning opportunities. All are 100% funded by
YOU
, our parents; through generous donations to the Walkathon, Readathon and Auction.
Support PTSA fundraisers - they pay for these wonderful activities.
