Reminder that tomorrow kicks off the 12 days of Christmas. Tomorrow is GREEN AND RED DAY. Also the holiday shop will be open tomorrow and remain open till Thursday. If enough times remain and kids still need to shop we will open Friday for part of the day. Lots of kiddos got good stuff today. It’s been awesome to watch them get excited shopping for their families. Items start at $1 and go up to $8.
Let's have some fun on our last "12 Days before Christmas!" All students and staff are invited to participate!
