Today we held Buddy Lunches as our grades 3-5 students went down to Kossmann to have lunch with their grades K-2 buddies. Many thanks to our custodial and food services staff for their efforts today to make this event the success that it was. We are also grateful for the efforts of our lunch supervisors and aides to ensure it all went smoothly.

We were thrilled this week to host Anita and Macy, a 10 year old Golden Retriever, to share with us the great work done by The Seeing Eye and how important their service is to the blind. This Monday, 3/18, we begin our Pennies for Puppies fundraiser to benefit The Seeing Eye. The drive will continue throughout the week. Please see your email from Wednesday for the flyer and more information. If your child is couch diving for change or scrounging under the seats of your vehicles, you'll know why! Donations are not just limited to change as we do our share to help defray some of the $70K cost to train a Seeing Eye dog and its owner.
