Holiday Luncheon

Once again, we opened our doors for families to gather and eat a Thanksgiving meal with their students. 

Thank you to Stephany Elias, our special luncheons chair, and her team of volunteers for creating a festive environment. Thank you to our cafeteria staff for preparing such a delicious meal. Next up is the Holiday Luncheon on December 12th for 2nd, 3rd and 5th graders. 
Cherokee Stories

Before the break, students engaged in a performance of the folklore and lifeways of the Cherokee people led by storyteller Barry Stewart Mann.
 We loved how he brought famous cultural figures to life! PTO supports the cultural arts program with in-school assemblies for students to gain exposure to the arts. If you know of a performer or group that might be suitable for this program, please contact us.
