Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Reed's homerooms raised the most money to help eradicate polio in those grades, respectively. The 7th and 8th grade winners will have their breakfast Thursday!
Make-up picture day is Friday morning, November 19. If your student was not present during our Fall picture day, please have them dress accordingly for their picture on Friday. If you want to have their pictures retaken, please have them bring their unwanted portraits with them on Friday so Lifetouch can provide the same package your family previously purchased.
This week Mrs. Lipscomb's classes learned a little about Veterans Day and why it's just not a day off from school.
This classroom is supporting wounded warriors and their families through a new Veterans Day education and fundraising campaign – Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Honor Their Courage!
They've set a fundraising goal for their classroom and as Veterans Day is currently on our minds, they're learning about the history, sacrifices, and realities of service members. Every dollar raised transforms the lives of America’s injured veterans and helps provide lifesaving programs and services that empower wounded warriors as they take on their next mission in life.
Join this class today and donate by clicking the link below. Thank you for supporting this classroom, and more importantly, for supporting lifesaving programs for wounded warriors and their families.
