Save the Date: School Picture Day Is Wednesday, 9/25!

We are excited to hold our Student Picture Day with Bloom School Pictures on Wednesday, September 25! During Picture Day, students will take both their class group pictures and their individual school pictures. There is no fee for students to participate and families have no obligation to order photographs. We’ll share more information about Picture Day, including how to order prints, in next week’s newsletter!

Save the Date: PTA 4th Annual Movie Night Is Thursday, 9/26!

We are excited to invite all members of our school community to our PTA’s 4th Annual Outdoor Movie Night on Thursday, September 26 (no school on Friday, September 27)! The event will be on our school grounds and begins at 6:00 p.m., with a 7:00 p.m. movie showtime.

Bring your own outdoor seating to get comfy (lawn chairs, blankets, etc.) and your own picnic, or plan to buy pizza at the event! We’ll also have movie snacks and Kona Ice for sale to benefit our PTA.

Our kids get to vote in their classrooms to decide which movie we’ll show!

Please RSVP by clicking here, especially if you’re planning to buy pizza! And, please note that this is a FAMILY event, so plan to attend with your children (childcare is not provided).
