Please make sure you put your student's name with your submission. Please note video submissions will be shared with other students and families in our school. They may also be featured on our Facebook page and/or website .
- Books for Africa! Starting Tuesday, September 8th, through the end of October we will be collecting gently used books to donate to children and families in need in Africa. There will be a book donation bin in the cafeteria so students can drop of their donations when they arrive at school.
- International Pen Pals for K-5. This is an optional and fun way for us to connect to students across the globe! If you are interested in participating, please let you reading teacher know and we will begin writing letters to our new friends
