Library Birthday Book Club Donation Program
Are you looking for a special way to honor your child and help our school library replace hundreds of lost books? You can help by donating a book to the library in honor of your child's birthday.  If every family donated at least one book per child, we could receive over 600 new books!

GIVING TREE
The giving tree is an idea that came from our Student Council.
It is a way that families can support teachers and staff.

Every teacher or staff member has an envelope on the Giving
Tree branches. Look inside the envelope for an item that the
class needs. Most items are small and not expensive. Purchase
the item for your child's teacher (or another class).
