We hope that everyone is enjoying their winter break!!
A more robust update will be coming your way later this week but we wanted to alert you of a special need that our Teacher Appreciation committee has.... As a "welcome back" gift, the PTO would like to provide each teacher with a bag of supplies for their classroom. Right now, we are still in need of some items -- please click on the following link to learn more about this and how you can help -- Teacher Appreciation Classroom Bags -- Back to School!
If you have any questions, please contact Heidi Pasqualetti at pasqualetti@fuse.net.
Thank you so much and have a safe and prosperous New Year!!
