Kristin Duerr - You've Been Stung!

Kristin, you are amazing and talented!  The Holiday Show was simply the most fantastic event of the year.  Also, thank you to Ms. Tammy Moran, Mr. Mark Gieger, Charlene Dekker-Manpearl and teachers for all the time put in helping the program be so successful.  And finally to all the kids that were so dedicated to their parts, singing and artwork that made the program happen.  And to all the parents who came out to get the auditorium set up for the program.  If you haven't seen the article in the Argonaut, check out the link

Fitness Challenge: We Need You!

DateSaturday, January 28, 2012 at 11:50AM | | Print ArticlePrint Article |


The Fitness Challenge is Friday, February 10, 2012. Who can help set up?

We need everyone to help out the day of the event for their grade level. The Fitness Challenge will help raise money for our Physical Education Program while promoting exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Our PE is not covered by the school's budget. Therefore, we must raise money to continue this important program. it is a fun event that allows the students an opportunity to exercise around an obstacle course at school. There will be music to motivate the children and water to keep them hydrated. We are hoping parents will donate small Dixie size cups, yogurt tubes and sliced oranges. You can drop off your donated items at the Parent Center or office the day before the event (sliced oranges the morning of the event).
