Wear your 10 year anniversary gear!
To commemorate our 10-year anniversary, both students and staff are invited to wear either our green 10-year anniversary shirt or the navy 10-year anniversary sweatshirt on Tuesday, November 21st. We kindly request that these anniversary tops be paired with uniform bottoms or jeans that are free of holes, rips, or tears. Uniform attire is also perfectly acceptable. Please note no other spirit wear should be worn this day.
As November 10th was already designated as a spirit wear day, all campuses opted to host the additional 10-year anniversary celebration on the day preceding Thanksgiving Break. Hooray!

Kindergarten Warm Clothing Drive
Kindergarten needs your help! We have been learning about seasons and weather in our recent cluster. We discussed our current season, Fall, and the upcoming season, Winter. We talked about the weather during these seasons and the type of clothing we have and need for the cold weather that comes with these seasons. We talked about how we would feel if we didn’t have these items and ways we could help others in need.
Here’s how you can help! Both kindergarten classes are working together to conduct a Warm Clothing Drive. We will donate these items to Volunteers of America, Utah. Please send any of these items (all sizes/adult or child)with your kinder or drop the items off in the office. Please let them know that they are for the kindergarten Warm Clothing Drive!
Items needed:
Blankets
Rain ponchos
Hoodies (all sizes)
Winter hats (beanies)
Water-resistant winter gloves
Winter socks
Hand Warmers/toe warmers
Winter coats (all sizes)
Thank you for supporting our community and helping our kinders know that they can make a difference!
