Parking Lot

Be mindful of the children walking through the schoolyard to come into school in the morning. In the morning the children are assuming it is safe to walk through their schoolyard. There was a near miss with a distracted driver. Please remember the rules of the road apply to our schoolyard. Please do not use your cell phone etc. in the schoolyard. The safety of all children is our utmost concern.

Matching Gift Programs

We are most grateful to those individuals who’ve made gifts to the school by participating in a “Matching Gift Program” at their workplace. If you’re interested in making a contribution to the school in this manner, simply contact your firm’s Human Resource Administrator to see if your employer will match your gift. Thank you, too, to those businesses that would sponsor this excellent incentive!
