New Crosswalk Across Erie Avenue!!
Thank you to everyone who supported the installation of a new crosswalk across Erie Ave. (at Mooney Ave.)! City officials have let us know they will monitor the use of the crosswalk and the behavior of drivers to determine if additional measures (e.g., flashing lights, etc.) may be required to maximize the safety of crossing. Here is how you can continue to help:
- Use the crosswalk!
- If you see someone from the city present and desire to see additional safety measures installed, introduce yourself and let them know!

Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime. Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands. If you could spare 30 minutes of your time, please join our lunch period to help make the most of this important time! You will need to check in at the main office at 10:00am and will then be directed to the cafeteria. |
