MS families, how’s it going? 😬 Yes, me too! The good news is that we’ve raised just over half of the money needed to support the MS Social Team this school year. The bad news is we still need more in order to support the fun activities the MS Social Team will coordinate this year. Please continue to give generously to support your Middle Schooler.

Finally, check out our MS page for all Middle School happenings and events. Until the next newsletter, be smart, be safe and wash your hands. 🤧

Middle School Families, thank you for your generosity in providing treats and volunteers for our September Staff Birthday Treats & Snacks! Our amazing staff greatly appreciated all of the special goodies! See pictures.

5th grade families, watch for an email to sign up for October staff Birthday Treats & Snacks soon.

Back to school time can mean excitement for some and stress for others. Most often, our children experience a little of both.

New teachers, new students, and changes in routines can bring about a roller coaster of emotions. While things usually settle in time, each child is different and may experience some forms of stress more intensely.

For tips on how to help your child navigate stressful situations, check out the American Academy of Pediatrics for more information English or Spanish.

We are busy planning for our yearly Fall Festival. We have so many fun activity ideas and more! Save the date so you can join us! More information coming soon!

Mark your calendars!

Date: October 22

Time: 3:30pm - 6:30pm
