HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WELCOME TO 2008!
The PFA welcomed in the New Year with a meeting on January 9th at the district office. We are getting ready for an exciting beginning to the second half of this school year, including many activities for both students and their families!
We want you to remember to save the important date of SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH FOR THE ANNUAL DISTRICT FUN FAIR. This year the fair will include a reptile show!
OTHER NEWS FROM THE MEETING:
All of our principals want to thank the families who supported our toy drive for Worth Township. Each year, Worth Township relies on our district to help out during the holidays , when many families are struggling. As usual, we did our best and filled many boxes to donate to this cause.
