We are excited that with funds raised last year, our PTO has purchased and is awaiting the delivery of 26 new computers for classrooms! As it begins to get cooler, we are taking orders for long sleeve uniform shirts. This will be on a first come first serve basis as we plan to phase out our current design and look at a new one for the future. So, we will not be ordering new long sleeve shirts. We plan to offer what we have remaining. The shirts come in youth sizes small, medium and large and are $15.00 each. Order forms will be available in the front office. Our annual cookie dough fundraiser kicked off on October 16, The children were greeted with an exciting presentation from our cookie dough representative, Angie Taylor. The orders have been turned in and the cookie dough will be delivered on November 14, 2012! This fundraiser will help us move toward our goals to improve our school in the coming year!
