If you would like to volunteer at the school, please complete the "I would like to Volunteer" form available on PowerSchool and we can connect you with the right people.Hot Lunch & Milk

Laser City Reading Contest
Our school is participating in Laser City's Read to Win Contest. Laser City recognizes the importance of reading in a child's education and wants to encourage children to build reading into their daily routine. Students who meet their classroom reading goals will enter to win 2 free games of laser tag at Laser City. We will do the draws each month at the Assembly and 4 students will be presented with a certificate. The prize is good for 3 months. Students can enter as many times as they like during the month. The entry box is in the Library. The more you read, the more chances to win! We restart the contest every month. Happy Reading!
