The annual Pre-K sale benefiting the After the Wave Foundation will be held December 13th & 14th. There will be two locations set up from 7:00 am – 3:00 pm. Look for the tables of hand crafted gifts and holiday decorations from the kids and parents in the MS/HS Cafeteria and in the ES MPR (during drop-off will be in front of ES Office). See attached flyer.
Hats/Water Bottles
We are concerned with the number of children playing in the playground or going to P.E. without hats. Water bottles are also essential for P.E. Please encourage children to bring their hats and water bottles everyday.
