Third grade, with the help of Student Council, will be taking part in a service project to benefit the LEADS Head Start program. LEADS Head Start is designed to foster healthy development in children from low income families. We will be collecting toothbrushes and toothpaste for the students enrolled in the program. All toothbrushes need to be child sized and without character designs. Boxes will be sent around for the classrooms to collect theses donated items. We are asking students in A homerooms to bring in toothbrushes and B homerooms to bring in toothpaste. The collection will end on Friday, March 19. All of your help is greatly appreciated.

We were recently notified that National City bank is being converted to PNC Bank during this coming weekend. At this point we will attempt to debit the accounts that we have on file under the National City routing and account numbers, however any family that is enrolled in the automatic draft program for tuition that has a National City account will need to provide the accounting office with their new routing and account numbers no later than Friday, February 26th. If you have any questions, please contact Amber at extension 235.
Please do not form two lines during pick-up (when we have this kind of snow), as it blocks other's ability to turn around on Pearl Street. Thank you.
