Our next PTO meeting in Monday September 9 at 5:30. We would love to see you all there! We are trying out a new babysitter option! If you haven't been able to attend a meeting due to childcare constraints, we can help! If you have a child between the ages of 4 and 10 who is fully potty trained, we have spots for 10 kids.

Please send a message to reserve a spot for your child today! Note that it is first come, first served and we are only able to accommodate 10 children. You will be contacted if we are out of space and don't have an open spot for your child.

If you have a 6th or a 9th grader, don't forget to sign up for the Skyzone event. Make sure to fill out the waiver, too. Payment is due at the door.
