Week of 2-4-19

The Valentine's Party will be held on 2-14-19 at 2:00pm.  We ask that students bring Valentines for everyone in their class.  They only need to write who they are from on the cards.  They are welcome to make a box or bag at home for their Valentines or we will provide a brown bag for them to collect their Valentines in.

HISTORIC BRICKS AVAILABLE!

Are you interested in receiving a brick from our old Cannon building, as a keepsake? We have had several requests for bricks, so we collected and set aside a large number of bricks to have available for those who are interested.

If you are interested in receiving a brick, please complete this form. This form must be completed by Friday, February 8th. Since we have a limited number of bricks available, the form deadline may be adjusted, based on the number of requests we receive.

We will notify all parents who are interested in receiving a brick to let you know when they will be delivered to our site and are available for pick-up. If you have any questions, please let us know by contacting the school office at 817-251-5680. Thank you!
