Noon Hour Supervisor Substitutes Needed

Husky Hustle

• Each year we have a big FUNdraiser called the Husky Hustle where students run laps around the soccer field to raise money for the school. The funds raised support all the events PTA sponsors throughout the year. Students earn lots of wonderful prizes for raising money. Mark the date on your calendar and come out to cheer on your child(ren).

• Friday, Oct. 11th, 8:45 am - 3:00 pm

Support Request

• The PTA is in need of a CPA or someone who regularly prepares tax forms. We were hoping we could find a parent to help us file the necessary tax forms - we’ve reached the point where we need to do a little extra. Hoping we can find a parent to help rather than looking for a firm!

• If you are able to help with this request, please email Aubree Mayhew at acarter98@hotmail.com

Trunk or Treat

• Tuesday, October 22nd @ 6:30 - 7:30 pm 

  • This event will be held in the back parking lot.

  • Fliers with details and RSVP slip for parents decorating cars will be forthcoming.
