What We've Been Up To...

INTERMEDIATE DESIGNS SODA CAN LABELS

Before break, the PTO donated soda cans for Mr. Fleischman's and Ms. Melby's classes to re-design labels. They then got to drink the soda and the winners received donuts!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As we welcome 2026, the PTO extends a heartfelt thanks for your incredible support this past year. Your dedication to our school is the backbone of our success. We wish you and your families a New Year filled with happiness, health, and wonderful memories!

Primary Snacks Needed

The Primary School is low on snacks. We all have those forgetful days and our teachers keep snacks on hand for these instances. Please consider dropping off snacks to help our teachers ensure kids have an alternative on those days.
