Please supply a small healthy snack for your student.We are the first ones in the school to have lunch so it’s no surprise students are hungry at the end of the day. It so happens to be math time and students are losing energy. Please supply a small snack for your student at the end of the day so they can be full and focused for the entire day. They will keep it in their backpack/lunch box until they eat it. We will eat our snacks around 1:30. Thank you for your help!
If you are going to eat a school lunch with your child please call the kitchen by 9:30 am. 847-5064
BRRRRR! Make sure to dress for the weather. It’s getting chilly outside and we go outside if the wind chill is 20 degrees or higher!
