Lost and Found items will be set up by the PNA pickup this week and by the cafeteria during today’s parent lunch. All items that are outside on the playground will remain outside, as they are very wet. Please look through all Lost and Found areas for anything your child may be missing – whatever is left after this Friday will be donated or thrown away.
We hope everyone has a great holiday! The PTO newsletter will be back on Tuesday, January 10th.
We will announce offerings and registration for our 2023 After School Clubs after winter break. Please be on the lookout for more information in January!
Here are the thankful hands that the students created after our November School Wide Paideia Seminar which emphasized the values of kindness, strength, acceptance, and compassion. The hands are “thankful for your kindness” hands and the students wrote out people who they are thankful for.
12/16 is the last school day of the semester and is a half day for students. PNA is open for before care but not after care. We will see everyone again on January 9th!
