The end of year picnic was a blast! There was dancing, face painting, basketball, kickball, football, gymnastics, and so much more! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out. Special thanks to Ann Marie Harriger and Meredith Earle for organizing.
We also raised $230 for Cal's Cupcakes (The Calliope Joy Foundation). Thank you to everyone that donated/purchased cupcakes!
Thank you, Kona Ice, for donating a percentage of sales at the picnic to our HSA. We made $470!

Technology Resources for Families of Elementary Students
Children are playing and communicating electronically in ways we could not have imagined just a few years ago. It can be hard for parents to keep up. But monitoring our children’s technology use can be helpful in guiding and supporting them when challenges come up in their digital world.
Please CLICK HERE to review this document for up to date information about internet safety, tech-savvy parenting, and curricular resources.
