Star of the Week Lunch– It is wonderful when parents are able to come in and have lunch with their students during Star of the Week.  However, there has been an issue with parents bringing food to share.   We have almost 100 students that are eating lunch at our time.  If you don’t bring enough food to share with 100 then there will be students that are sad they didn’t get any.  Please only bring enough for your student and yourself.

Donations – thank you for everyone who gave donations for the refugees.  Everyone was VERY generous, especially the Dabaja family!  Our class had the most donations of the school and won the pizza party!
