Week 30

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at WINGO. It was a great event and a lot of money was raised for our school. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Third Grade’s Slime Basket (pictures attached). We are especially grateful to all our volunteers who made this such a success. If you didn’t get a chance to attend this year, I encourage you to get a ticket to next year’s event. It is lots of family fun, and there are prizes galore!
