• Special Valentines Update:
   The PTSA is sponsoring a project for Children's Hospital, "From Our Heart to Yours".   During the Valentine's Day party we will be helping the class prepare craft kits for the patients at Children's Hospital.   Each grade level will be preparing kits for the children at the hospital to enjoy during their stay.  The class will be assembling the materials, but will not make the projects. The project is specific, with detailed instructions to follow due to guidelines for safety.
   Parents interested in hosting and helping out for the valentines party are welcome, and a sign up genius is available at:
