Dry Clothes for Accidents / Wet Days
The school office would like some small-sized pants/sweatpants and socks for K-2 emergencies... hand-me-downs will do. There are many ways the little people can get soaked at school, starting with a rainy day at recess (and ending with too many fluids at lunch!) :-) If your little person gets drenched, the office likes to have a stash of dry clothes to keep them warm, dry, and learning. Thank you!

The PTSA sponsors educational and fun programs as well as helping to fill in the gaps with school staffing when needed. None of these are possible without you! Please join and volunteer with us to help enrich our children's education.
