Picture Retakes are Friday, October 10th! If a parent would like to replace their student’s original photo with a retake image, simply have the student bring back their original package and turn it in to the photographer on retake day. We’ll fulfill their new order at no charge and send it back to the school for distribution.
Any student who missed the original photo day should attend retakes and can order online @ INTER-STATE.COM/ORDER and use the code 0094HKU. Orders placed using the retake day order code will ship in bulk to the school with no added shipping cost.
If parents wait and use their student-specific code (available ~3 days after retakes), those orders will incur shipping and be sent to their home address. Please call the office with any questions!
Thank you for signing up to bring items for the staff meal! I think we only need someone to donate fruit(a bag of clementines and or bananas would work). Please have your food dropped off at the school office by 3:00 on Tuesday, Sept 30th! Also remember to fill out a donation slip. Thank you ALL!
Parent/Teacher conferences are next week and PTO will be providing a meal for the teachers on Tuesday, September 30th. We are looking for some volunteers who would like to help provide the items below. Please comment what item or items you will be donating. Items need to be at the school no later than 3:00 PM on September 30th. It's also important to fill out a donation form, which can be found in the school office. We truly appreciate your kindness and donations!
Our kindergarteners are exploring their five senses! Earlier this week they got to ‘smell the rainbow’ with a fun Jell-O activity 🍓🍋🍇 They loved guessing the different scents while learning how our sense of smell helps us experience the world around us. 🌈👃
Our Kindergarten artists dove into the story of The Rainbow Fish! 🐠✨They learned about how to be a kind friend, explored colors, and strengthened their fine motor skills while creating their own shimmering masterpieces.
🍎✨Apple Day in kindergarten was a success! Our students explored the parts and life cycle of an apple, peeled and cooked apples into homemade applesauce, and even did a taste test of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors. What a fun (and tasty!) way to use our sense of taste while learning about apples and our five senses!

📚🏈 Our class loves Thursdays because that’s when our “Rockin’ Reader” from CHS comes to visit! Each week, one of the football players joins us to read stories and spend time playing with the students. 💙
It is such a joy to see the kids light up with excitement, and we are so thankful for these positive role models who inspire our students both in and out of the classroom. 🌟
