Campus Updates & Reminders:
We are quickly approaching our spring conferences. During Parent-Teacher Conference Week, there will be an adjusted schedule:
TK/Kindergarten will operate on their normal schedule (including “Wacky Wednesday”)
1st-6th grades will dismiss at 1:35pm every day
If your child is enrolled in SPARK or Catalyst after school programs, they will go to their program after school ends. All other students must be picked up at their appropriate dismissal time.

The BOOK FAIR- Raises money that goes directly to our library, supplying books to our kids! We can't have a Bookfair without parents, older siblings, and even grandparents working the bookfair shifts. Shifts are short and mainly consist of working the user-friendly cash register.

Have not attended and want to know more? This is a very fun, 21 and older evening at Wildhorse Golf Club, for staff and families (current and graduated). There is dinner, and 2 alcoholic/non alcoholic drink tickets included and more available for purchase. Online and live auction items available to bid on. Some of us come dressed in theme and some come in what makes them feel most comfortable. We end the night with bidding on desserts, sharing them among new, old friends, and staff. As well as dancing and games!!
You have not volunteered and are just not sure how you can help a little to make a BIG impact?? If you aren't able to attend, we still need help with preparations and donations. There are so many ways to contribute, if you are on the fence on how to help, please email me or our fundraiser chair, Heather Theison who's working really hard to make our auction a success ([email protected])
