Grammar Art Supply Fee ~ $5 ~ New This Year
In grammar school, instead of purchasing art supplies individually, each student will pay a suggested $5 fee to cover the cost of program needs. This will help our grammar art teacher ensure she has the quantity and types of resources needed for various projects. This suggested fee will be assigned in Skyward beginning in August. Payments can be made through Skyward or via check.
Want to Help Refresh Campus Before the New School Year? Pick your time here...
A school refresh is underway! Thanks to a couple of families and other volunteers, we have checked some tasks off of our summer to-do list. YAY!!! There are still things to do to be ready for the new school year. Some tasks are best done by a handyman and others are good for families and students. As added incentive, merits and pizza will be offered for those students who sign-up and show up to help. Pizza will be available at about 12 noon on each day when students are volunteering. Check out these options!
