Lost and Found
We have many lost and found items at our school. Please encourage your children to look through them
to claim anything which might be missing. A reminder: marking clothing with names or initials will assist us in
returning items to the correct owners. Items will be on display until our holiday vacation break, at which time
anything unclaimed will be donated to charity. Thank you for your help with this.
Attention Parents of Preschoolers
If you have a child who is five years old on or before October 15, 2015, he/she is eligible to enroll in
Kindergarten this fall. Please contact the school office (785-4504) to place your child’s name on our list.
Registration will take place in the spring, but for budgeting purposes we are trying to determine the class size
now. Thank you for your help.
