Message from the PTO -
Our third annual Coin War starts this coming Monday, March 30th! This year, we are changing it up with a Mario Kart theme. Each class will have its own Mario Kart character and get to see it 'race' to the finish line! Classes are divided into groups: Kindergarten through 2nd and Pre-K & 3rd-5th. The class that brings the most coins in by WEIGHT in each group will win a pizza party. AND if a student brings in cash, each dollar will add 1 pound to their class's total. Students have until Friday, April 4th, to bring in coins or cash. The winning classes will be announced before Spring Break. Thank you for always supporting our school's PTO, students, families, and staff!
