November Lunch Menu
We Need Your Help!! The theater program is hard at work on the sets for their upcoming play, “Phantom Tollbooth” and they are in need of donations of newspapers. Please drop any off at the school office. Crossing guards are still needed before and after school and November dates have been added to the signup HERE. If you are interested in volunteering to do this, please reach out to the office to schedule 10-15 minutes to train with Mr. Chick. Our chain has come off of the flagpole up front and it is too tall for us to repair. If you have a solution for us, please email the office. Watch for volunteer asks soon for Thanksgiving lunch prep and book fair help. Remember to log your service hours HERE. We appreciate you!!
