It will also be open before and during our Open House from 5:30-7:30 on Thursday, September 3. Please tell friends that may home school or have children at home that we would love to see them, too!

Open House – This event will be held Thursday, September 4th from 6:30-7:30 and is an opportunity to get a better look at our school. Parents and family may visit and tour our school, meet teachers, and see what your child has been doing in class.

 

Music Lessons – Mr. Brown, Mr. Reece, and Mrs. White are gearing up for music lessons. If you are interested in your child learning to play the guitar, piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, or another instrument, please call the school so that we can put you in contact with them. These lessons are given at the school, so you don’t have to drive anywhere! 

 

Waffle House – The Summerdale Waffle House on 59 is sponsoring a waffle eating contest and bake sale to raise money for local schools (which includes us!) The Fire and Police Departments and some of our high school students will be participating in the contest. They will also have face painting and finger printing services. PLEASE go to this business and support it from 2-7 p.m. on Saturday, September 12th. A portion of the money raised will be donated to our school.
