UPDATE: Students are bringing home fundraiser information packets today (Friday the 15th).
Each school year we have a fundraising drive to help us raise money to support both our school and PTA events and budgets. This year, we wanted to share that the LP (school & PTA) fundraiser drive will be held September 15th—September 29th.
This year, we will again be selling Yankee Candles. This was a very popular and successful fundraiser in the past and we hope that you are able to help us raise money for our students and school!

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify your child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
