Drumming Performance!

Students from Ms. Munoz's, Ms. Benedetti's, Ms. Labasan's, and Mr. Tamayo's class put on an incredible drumming performance for the school right before the break! Students performed great renditions of songs like Golden, This is me, and I'm Still Standing. Their performance was enjoyed and praised by their peers! Great job otters!!!!
 

LOST AND FOUND:

Lost and found is stored in the cafeteria. Please check it weekly for your student's belongings. As the year wraps up, we will be clearing out the Lost and Found regularly. Please check the cafeteria weekly for misplaced belongings. If your child has lost glasses, jewelry, toys, or electronics and you do not see it in the lost and found, please double check with the office as often times they are brought to the office.

Food Bank Volunteer shout out!

A HUGE thank you to Ms. Mary and Jennifer who came during the break as family members to a student to help make sure there were no gaps in access to food for our families. They volunteer every Monday and work to bring much needed food access to not just our families but to the community!
 

Staff Shout Out! Mrs. Loeffler

Mrs. Loeffler, our wonderful school Librarian, packed up the library and prepared it for its new temporary location while still running small groups for students and ensuring that students saw no gaps in their needs! Great Job Mrs. Loeffler! We appreciate you!
