It is with great excitement that I notify you that we have received confirmation that our cookie dough items will arrive today, Thursday, November 16.
Our PTO will unload the items upon their arrival and they will be available for pick up on Thursday, November 16 beginning at 2pm. Our PTO members will help to ensure cookie dough will be available for parents to pick up until 7pm this evening.
Cookie dough Items as well as student prizes can be picked up in our extra PE room. There is an exterior door near the classroom that will provide ease of pick up near the car rider lot, to the left of the main lobby if you are looking at our building.
