A Note From Our Principal ,
Thank you all for your participation in our Kids Helping Communities initiative this summer!
This summer, we partnered with No Kid Hungry to help feed hungry children in United States. With our support, No Kid Hungry works to ensure that every child in the United States has access to healthy food where they live, where they learn and where they play. Every $10 can feed a child up to 100 meals.
For our Fundraiser, We set a goal to raise $1000.00. Every Ten dollar donation made, the family’s name will be entered into a raffle for a movie basket. As Parents made donations online, the children wrote their name on a raffle ticket to be entered into the Raffle.
On Friday at noon, we drew one name for the winner of our raffle basket and the Wack Family Won!
With the Parent’s help, we were able to raise $853.00 to help No Kid Hungry. With our efforts, we were able to provide 8,530 meals! We are grateful for the opportunity to watch our students serve others these past few weeks and appreciate the role you all had in this.
We still have a few more weeks of summer and our teachers are hard at work preparing our classrooms for the new school year. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns in the interim.
Sincerely,
Ms. Shelly
Summer Camp Survey
We will be reaching out to camp families in the next few weeks to gather feedback on our summer camp program.

Please keep an eye out for the survey!
End of Summer Classroom Celebrations
On August 27th students will be celebrating the end of summer with music, themed crafts and an afternoon treat in their assigned classrooms.
