Family Fun Night

Family Fun Night is scheduled for Friday, November 14, from 5:00 - 8:00. Each classroom will host a game, which is being provided by PTO. We will host the ring toss. I am in need of at least two parents to lead this game for the evening. If you are interested in doing a time slot (30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.), please let me know.

Every class will also have an item in the live auction, which will be held from 7:30 - 8:00 that evening. Every classroom will have an item that represents their class. Save your money now to be the highest bidder on your child’s classroom item. Proceeds will go to our playground and climbing wall.
