BIG KAHUNA CAMPUS FUNDRAISER!!
Wow!!! Thank you so much for helping raise money for our school with the chocolate fundraiser!
Our chocolate sale ends TOMORROW. CHOCOLATE MONEY IS DUE TO THE FRONT OFFICE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH.
We have about $7,000 of chocolate sales to collect, so please send in your money!!!
*If you prefer to make a direct donation to the campus instead of participating in the fundraiser, we accept donations all year in the front office via check or cash.
GT REFERRAL WINDOW NOW OPEN
The GT Nomination window for students is now open and has a firm deadline of October 21, 2022. Nominating your child for the GT identification process is completely OPTIONAL. If you are considering nominating your child, it is also a good idea to reach out and talk with teachers.
- This must be filled out in order for your child to move forward with the GT identification process. Only fill out this form if you would like your child to go through the GT identification process. This is optional.
** If your child is previously identified as a student who is Gifted, that identification follows them year after year unless the family reaches out to the school to remove the identifier. **
OCTOBER 31st
Students are invited to wear their pajamas for our campus wide PJ Day on Monday, October 31st.
