Did you know socks are the most needed, but least donated item in homeless shelters?
With your donation, we can help people get back on their feet!
During the month of October you can help our TK classes with their community project. All you have to do is drop off new socks in this box located in the school office. All socks will be donated to Interfaith for those in need.
Thank you for supporting our TK Classes and our Community Project!

Friendly Reminder: No Cell Phones/Apple Watches Allowed!
Parents, as noted in our Parent Handbook (linked below), during the school day, student cell phones are to be turned off and stored in backpacks. Smart watches need to be set to "School Mode" so they cannot send/receive text messages during the school day. If your student brings a cell phone or smartwatch to school, please help them understand they are here to learn. If the calls continue, students may be asked not to wear them at school. Thank you parents for all your support!
