Wednesday Folder – April 19, 2017

Hello Thunderbirds!

PTA meeting & K/1st Performance TOMORROW!

All performing Kinder/1st grade students should be dropped off in the Cafeteria by 5:50pm. Then head to the Gym for our PTA meeting (childcare will be available). We’ll be electing new officers and approving next year’s budget. You can view the proposed budget online ahead of time here. Scroll down to the Budget section.

Friday is Coffee Chat!

Meet in the cafeteria at 8am for a conversation about proposed changes for next school year: Early release days and Universal Breakfast.

Fundraising Team = Awesome!

Let’s give a HUGE Thank You to Jonna Ball for stepping up to take on leadership of our Fundraising team.
