We are SUPER excited about the addition of our Little Lending Library which is located by the staircase to the main entrance of the elementary building. Students are encouraged to take a book to read. Families are encouraged to drop off gently loved books to share with other students. A big THANK YOU to our maintenance workers, Jim Kuhns and Matt Burghy, who did a fantastic job bringing this idea to life. This is a fantastic way to promote a love of reading and to get books into the hands of our students. Kindly, Amber Toriseva

Each time it is your child's turn, a permission slip will be sent out at the beginning of the week. These permission slips aer to be turned in to your child's teacher on that Wednesday, so that the teacher knows the child may stay after school. Mr. Mozena will supervise your child the entire time. November 3rd will be the first class for Grades K-1 and November 17th will be for grades 2-4 (*Please note that there is an off week in between, due Mr. Moe being out of town. Thanks and stay fit!
