At Hobby Lobby they are $3.49

Jump Rope For Heart has been moved to March 5 & 6 due to our unexpected "winter break". Students will get collection folders in their Friday folders this Friday (2/21). Disregard the return date on these folders please. They are due back on March 6.

Our "Fight Heart Disease" sticker wall begins next week (2/24). Students may purchase a sticker for the wall for $1.00. The grade with the most stickers receives a flag for their hallway.

The event will take place during the student's regular physical education class so please have them dress accordingly.

Please be cautious of getting your child to school on time every day. We keep track of excessive tardies. Please encourage your child to come directly to the classroom by 7:45 if they are a car rider.

Dear Parents,
