Our 100th Day celebration is this coming Monday, January 24th (also our first Early Release Day)! We will be celebrating 100 fabulous days of learning by dressing up as if we are 100 years old. It is not required that students dress up, but we would love to see a lot of participation!

early release day - also monday

Just a friendly reminder that Monday is also our first Early Release Day. Students will be dismissed at 12:20 instead of 2:20. Students will still have lunch at school, so please prepare if your child normally brings his/her lunch. Additionally, buses will still run, just 2 hours earlier.
