Kindergarten busy making their own magnificent thing in Innovation Lab!

Annual Food Drive

Student Council will be hosting a food drive to benefit the Carbon Valley area Wednesday, November 29- Wednesday, December 6.  The items most needed are peanut butter, canned chicken & tuna, canned fruit, and cereal. All items need to be non-perishable.  Students will bring items to their classrooms and our school goal is 2000 items. If we reach our goal, we will have staff take a “pie in the face” before Winter Break. Thank you for your support!


Giving Tree

In order to help provide a magical holiday experience for some of our families in need of assistance, we are sponsoring a Giving Tree. If you can help donate a new gift for a child, please stop by the office anytime starting November 17th- December 8th for a tag. All gifts will need to be wrapped and brought to the office by Tuesday December 12th. Thank you for your support!

Book Fair
About the Book Fair eWallet

Give your child a safe, cashless way to shop at the Book Fair. This digital payment option can be used at the in-school Book Fair or online at the Virtual Book Fair, where you’ll discover an expanded selection of over 5,000 products. Plus, every purchase benefits our school! 

How It Works:

– Create an account for each child

– Add funds

– Invite family and friends to contribute

– Shop the Book Fair

– Spend unused funds online or fund an eWallet for your next Fair!

After the Fair, remaining eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card but instead, become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. Be sure to sign in with the same email used to create the eWallet.
