Message from the Principal

Students have been working on being good Chieftain HEROs. Please talk to your students about what that means and help encourage positive behavior.

Thank you for such a great start to the 2024-2025 school year!

Reminder to our bus rider families: Please make sure that students are at their bus stop, ready to hop on the bus, 5-10 minutes early each day. This helps our drivers to try and keep routes on schedule!!! Thank you!

Plastic Bag Drive

Bags to Mats!

Miss Serena is hosting a plastic bag drive, similar to canned food drives. She is trying to get as many plastic bags as possible so she can make mats out of them for the homeless. Whichever class brings the most plastic bags will earn a cupcake party.

Plastic bag mats are beneficial for the homeless because they are waterproof, easy to clean, lightweight, easily transportable, and provides protection from the cold concrete. They can also be used as blankets or pillows.

Miss Serena will put boxes inside of each classroom so that the students can easily place their bags in them. This will last all year. We will end the drive on May 23, 2025 at the end of the school day. We hope everyone participates for a chance to win the cupcake party!
