And...that's a wrap! For everyone who was able to support our spring book fair, it was a huge success!

Parent Involvement Night #3 will be held on May 17th. This will be from 5:45-6:45 in the elementary cafeteria. Topic for this event will be "Vaping & Current Drug Trends". Two professionals from Ten-16 Recovery Network will be providing education, prevention, and recovery information on this topic. As we are seeing an increase in the usage of vapes and various drugs we thought this would be a beneficial topic to bring to our families. Again, refreshments and child care will be available. We hope to see you!
