School News   

Our Friday, May 27 Neon Spring Blast will feature a toy table this year.  This is a great chance to do some spring cleaning and clear out those items your kids don't play with anymore... So that you can make room for new ones!  Any gently used children's toys and books would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped off in the multi purpose room.  Thank you! Please also consider how your family can support the silent auction with a donation. 

Grade 5 students should get their Memory Book questions in. Deadline is fast approaching. Contact Christine Carrigan if you have any questions.  

It will be PAC election time soon!  If you are looking for a great way to get involved in your children’s education look no further. As per our PAC bylaws, each position becomes vacant at the end of the term; therefore, all positions are open and available.  All positions may be shared by more than one parent/guardian.  More details about how to submit nominations to come soon.
