Teacher Appreciation Week
May 7 - 11

Our teachers work hard to inspire and motivate our students every day! From May 7-11 we would like to show our thanks and gratitude by joining the rest of the country in honoring our teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Week.

Book Fair
May 11- 18

Your children will have the opportunity to attend with their class  during our fair and at other open times, as well. Our Spring fair is a  much smaller event than our Fall fair, with no special events but a  GREAT opportunity to stock up on great new books to prevent the
dreaded "summer slide."  Remember, all purchases benefit our school. See you at the Book Fair!
