Thank you for Staff Appreciation

The PTA is beyond grateful for all the families who supported our Staff Appreciation efforts last week. With your help, we provided the teachers with a week long celebration that included showering them with Breakfasts, Lunches, Gift Cards, and more! 

Ben Franklin Art Show Volunteers Needed

Students will be creating original works of art during school that will be on display for the first Ben Franklin Art Show on May 23rd from 6:30-8:00pm. Student art work will be professionally framed for this special event and available to purchase for $25. Proceeds from the sale of the art work will go to our Art Program. There is no obligation to purchase the framed art and any art not purchased will be returned to the students. Please sign up here to volunteer that evening.

We appreciate your help in making this first Ben Franklin Art Show a success! Questions? Contact Kathy Van Ek.
