NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL – I would like to extend a warm thank you to the PTO for the wonderful Ice Cream Social that they sponsored last night. As always, it was great to see so many families gathered at our school. For those of you who had your picture taken, they will be posted in the foyer. When you see yours, feel free to take it home to enjoy. If you are unable to come by for your picture, we will send them home by the end of next week. This evening is one of the many ways that PTO dues are used to support our students and our school. Additionally, I would like to thank Roche Bros. for the donation of the ice cream that was enjoyed last night. This business has provided a supportive partnership that benefits our community!!!!

SAFETY PLEASE TAKE NOTE - For the safety of our children, it is important that everyone follows our arrival and dismissal rules. All students who come to school by car are to be dropped off at the side lot, in the circle, by the kindergarten wing. This can be a busy time of the day so it is important that this is done in an orderly manner. When driving into the circle please, be certain to drive down to the bottom of the circle before letting your child out of the car. Repair to the stairs is almost completed and very soon the children will be able to walk up the stairs, onto the side walk, and into the school. Currently they need to walk up the grassy hill to get to the sidewalk.
