Yearbook Orders
It's almost time to submit our yearbook and place the final order with the publisher, and we want to be sure we have a copy for everyone who would like one.
Each family should have received notification in your student's February 1st Communicator Folder regarding which students have already purchased a yearbook and which have not. It's not too late to place an order! You may use the form included on the notice, or the one here. Orders should be returned to the front office by Friday, February 15th. Please contact Marilee Doran with any questions at Marilee.d3@gmail.com .

Enter the 2013 Young Lungs at Work Art Competition
It's that time of year again-time to put your art talent to work for the clean air cause. This year's theme: Leading the Way for Cleaner Air!
How can we Lead the Way for Clean Air? What does leading look like? How can a regular person lead other people to care about the air? Create a comic strip about actions kids can take to lead the way in reducing air pollution. Be creative and have fun! Your cartoon should include one or more of the following actions: riding the bus, walking, biking, public transit, carpooling, combining car trips, or not idling.
Click here to visit the Clean Air Campaign web site. Look for the "Comic Strip Challenge" section. There is a link at the end of the section to download the challenge guidelines and entry form. Deadline is March 8th.
