It will also provide links to the required videos in case you want to get a head start on watching them!

Don't forget lunch order forms for our PD days. Payment and orders due by Wednesday, 7/22! Payments can be made in the office. Lunch Order Form 7/23 and 7/24

Pre School is in need of some sleeping mats for the kids until their order comes in.  Please contact Natalie Hepting if you can lend them a mat.
