Happy New Year to all of our families!

Many thanks to those who have participated in the Box Tops for Education program. Just by collecting those box tops, our school received a check for $503.50! And thank you to Mrs. Beth Pintz for coordinating this program, as well as to the volunteers who cut and count. Please continue to send in your box tops/labels. It does pay off!!
