Masks:

This is a reminder to all families to please make sure to send your children to school with extra face masks. As the day wears on they can get hard to wear and a fresh new mask is appreciated, and often essential.

Teal Pumpkin Project:

Here is some information on the Teal Pumpkin Project, a project raising food allergy awareness for Halloween. This is a way to let families know that you will be providing non-food treats at your house for trick or treating.
