Spring is here and that means the end of the school year is quickly approaching.
The PTO committee has been busy discussing and working on many projects we want to complete before the end of the school year.
We will be providing $400 for each grade level (K through 5th) to purchase new accelerated reader books; a total of $2400.
We will be purchasing three SmartBoards, along with USB cables, for three of the third grade classrooms. One classroom was completed previously. The cost will be around $4758.
