STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF MRS. RIEDL

Dolphin Families,

The upcoming week is very busy packed with all the events that were missed last week due to Hurricane Nicole. However, nothing will stand in our way of celebrating our military men and women - past and present! We have looked forward to this event and are so excited for Tuesday, November 15 as we honor our Veteran's.

In addition, also on Tuesday at 5:30, we will cheer on our boys volleyball team in the district championship game against Patriot Oaks Academy. And finally, PTO will host Bingo Night for those families that registered on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 6:00PM.

A week full of fun and celebrations brings memories that last and experiences that students won't forget!

Lets go Dolphins!

"Discovering Strengths and Pursuing Dreams"

Most Appreciative,

Mrs. Riedl

Papa Johns A la Carte - 3rd - 5th grade ONLY

Currently, our middle school students have Papa John's as an a la carte item each Monday.
Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 16, we will now be offering Papa John's pizza slices as an a la carte item to students in grades 3rd - 5th grade.
In order to ensure parents are fully aware of how a la carte works, we will ask families to sign up should their child want Papa John's the first time we serve it on Nov. 16.
Thereafter, students will be responsible for making their choice each Wednesday.
If there is a good response from our students, we will continue to serve Papa Johns as an a la carte item each Wednesday for students in grades 3rd - 5th.
