Congratulations to our grade 3 VIPs for the month of October. We're proud of you!
Our school is participating in the Battle of the Schools Textile Contest with schools across the country. Please clean out your closets and fill bags with clothing, shoes, accessories, and linens (table, window, bedding, etc.). Place the bags in the green and white bins at the 4-Diamonds during the month of September. What can be reused, will be and what cannot be reused, will be made into things such as playground surfaces and building insulation. Thank you for your help!
Thank you, Highland Women's Club, for the wonderful goodies provided for our staff. Also, thank you for the generous donations of gift cards for our Angel Fund!
Our fifth grade recyclers are busy at work!
Did you know our school earns money by mailing in Best Choice labels? These products are found at Tru Buy, Pete's Market in Troy and Farm Fresh Market in Breese. By clipping these and sending them into the school office, you are helping us to raise money for our students!
Thank you, Easton Rosen, for visiting our classrooms today. Our students learned a lot about our wonderful town!
Thank you to T-Mobile who donated Clorox wipes, tissues, hand sanitizer and a couple of bags of goodies for our teachers.
