Box Tops -  Spring Box Tops are being collected through today, April 27th, however, if you still have Box Tops to send in, we can still accept them through next Wednesday, May 2nd. Last year we earned $944 from box tops collections, so the PFA would like to challenge the students to beat that number and increase the number they turn in. The class with the most box tops will win a pizza party.

Movie Night - High school 'movie nights' have proven to be a success with strong attendance and overall great behavior from the students. The gym is open for basketball, dodge ball, frisbee (or the giant rubber band!), each classroom has video games to play including the Wii, X-Box, and PS3...(we have some incredible Guitar Hero masters!) There are 2 movies that play through the evening and concessions are sold as well.

News From The Kitchen

Accounts- The school year is quickly coming to an end. Please take the time to check your child's lunch account on Power school and bring it up to date. As of May 1st the kitchen will have to start enforcing the 'no charge' policy and this could upset the children if they get denied a hot school lunch because of an unpaid balance. Seniors will not receive their diploma if they have a charge so check your accounts.  If you have any questions, please contact Beth Long
