Our school promotes a goal that our students become "Responsible, respectful, and resourceful". We love to give every good thing to our children. Unfortunately, we cannot give our student these traits, but only the OPPORTUNITY to attain these things on their own. I'm thankful that our teachers continue to focus on learning that promotes student attainment of the "3 Rs". It is exciting to see student growth as we work together.
Facing mercy,

We kicked off our Jump Rope/Hoops For Heart program in P.E this week and our school's event is Thursday, February 4th! This is a fun and exciting event for our entire school as we work together to raise money for the American Heart Association and save lives!
Your students will be telling you about the Lifesaver puppies. Each puppy teaches the kids a new way to protect their heart and avoid risk factors for heart disease and stroke.If you raise $5 your student will get Super Pup at school now. If that donation is made online, they will also get a second puppy, Ninja Star. Any student who reaches $85 online will get Martia N. Mutley. When students raise $50, they will be awarded with a t-shirt as well as an out of uniform day!
