For the month of September, we are asking kindergarten students to bring in non-perishable food items for our Blessing Box that is in the front circle.
Items can be dropped off in the front lobby, students can bring them to the gym in the mornings this month, or taken directly to the Blessing Box.
Examples of items are macaroni & cheese, pasta, crackers, cereal, etc.
Please help us show compassion for our neighbors in need.
Our first All Pro Pal meeting is right around the corner!! We encourage students to either bring their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, or a positive male role model to All Pro Dude. Likewise, we encourage students to invite their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, or positive female role models to Mighty Ma. During these meetings we provide a light breakfast and spend time diving into character topics such as problem solving, creativity, integrity, service, and more!! We hope you will join us! As always, our meetings are open to everyone! Future meeting dates posted below.
