• No Metal Water Bottles, Please

  As we prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, please do not give your children metal water bottles for school.  Metal water bottles are heavy (even when empty) and have caused many accidents. Please help us keep everyone safe.

• St. Jude's Math-a-thon Fundraiser

  Our annual Math-a-thon fundraiser has begun! 

  Every penny we raise goes to St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital (helping children with serious diseases and their families). 

  We are trying to raise $25,000 as a school community this year.

   

  Here is how to participate: 

  1)   Go to our school’s 2024 Math-a-thon web site.

  2)   Register as an individual or group.
  
  3)   NOTE: You can only win prizes if you register online. Even if you only collect cash, please create a profile online. We’ll credit all of your donations to that account, so that you can win prizes.
  
  4)   Share your Math-a-thon profile with friends, family and coworkers. You can even safely share it on social media!
  
  5)   Do the math! Once you turned in your permission slip, or register online, you can get a Math-a-thon book from Ms. Jarrat Koatz.  You get to keep it!
  
  6)   Collect the donations! Donations (online or in cash/check) are due on March 20th. (Checks should be made payable to: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital)
  
  7)   Remember, every little bit helps! Whether you raise $1 or $1,000, you are helping the children and families of St. Jude’s.
  
  
  Your children can win some very cool prizes, too.
  
   If you have Math-a-thon questions, please contact Ms. Jarrat Koatz.
