Your teacher may have a snack wish list so all classmates have a snack. Please see the teacher newsletter to help.


The PTA would love your help with stocking the staff lounge with snacks and treats for all staff to enjoy throughout the school day. Check out the Amazon Wish List - all purchases are shipped directly to the school for teachers and staff to enjoy.
