• Our school is collecting canned goods for the Salvation Army. It’s something we do every year and a worthy cause. Mrs. Wepprecht will have a milk and cookie party with the class who brings in the most donations! Any little bit helps!
• Mrs. Galeaz our RtI teacher is still looking for volunteers for the EARL program. Volunteers come the one Friday of every month to read or listen to the kindergarten and 1st grade students read. If you know anyone who is interested (it’s usually retirees), please call the school and Miss Sherri will direct you to Mrs. Galeaz.
