WALK TO SCHOOL is Friday, October 6th!
Permission slips are coming home today. Please return by Friday, September 29. Parents are invited to walk with us. The event is for grades 1st-4th.
1-2-3-4- WE DECLARE A PENNY WAR!
The Penny War will take place TODAY, 9/13/23, through 9/29/23, for K-12.
- Buckets will be available to deposit money into at the beginning of the day and end of the day near the school office
- Pennies in your bucket = positive points
- Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grades. In other words, dropping a quarter in another grade’s bucket takes 25 points from their total. Dollar bills are big points.
- We will announce scores at the end of each week: 9/15 & 9/22
- The grade with the most positive points (money) on 9/29 wins!
- Proceeds will go towards a surprise at the Home of the Ram Stadium Grand Opening on October 6th.
