Wednesday: Fall Fundraiser (Cherrydale) Pickups & Volunteers Needed
Thank you to everyone who supported our school by participating in the Cherrydale fundraiser! Cherrydale orders will be available for pick up in the school gym next Wednesday, Nov. 20, at dismissal.

We are still in need of volunteers to help sort the orders when they arrive on the 20th. If you can help any time between 8-2 on the 20th, please email Kate Davis at the above address. Thank you!
