PRIZES:

1) If you register your child AND send out 10 emails by Sunday, February 14 you will be entered into a drawing for a prize (must do both)

2) Top Classroom (with the most minutes read) will get an extra 30 minute recess and Gretchen will watch the kids so the teacher gets free time. The Teacher also gets a $20 gift card to Target!

3) Top Student from each grade (most minutes read) gets a $10 gift card to Barnes & Noble!

4) If the $5,000 goal is reached by February 28th, the top student for the school gets to throw a pie in the Principal’s face!"

21-22 Kindergarten is filling up fast.   

Registration is now open.

Due to the COVID pandemic, we are going to postpone our kindergarten roundup event, typically held in late January, to a date later on in the spring when the virus is less prevalent in the community. In the meantime, we are excited to welcome you to join one of our virtual Kindergarten informational meetings, with the opportunity for Q & A with our staff.
