Gr 5 & 6 Students Sing

Q3 Ends Soon!

Did you know that our third quarter ends on March 20...that leaves only 8 school days from today! Many of you are working very hard to complete your work on time using your God-given abilities to their fullest. Some of you are not! Now is the time to pour it on! Spend some extra time, and do a great job! Remember, you can always check your grades on PowerSchool, so there should be no surprises for anyone when those report cards get passed out!

PTO Meeting March 12 @ 6:30PM

Join us for a School Family Night inspired by Pablo Picasso offered to us through the Milwaukee Art Museum and a Kohl's grant. We will have a 1 1/2 hour program with a teacher from MAM, an art project, general admission Museum coupons, and a drawing for one complimentary family general admission to the MAM. This is an evening for you to bring your children to participate and learn about Picasso and his artwork.
