2016 STEP Baby Drive Flyer-2

On April 4th the district will deliver bins to our school to help collect baby item donations for Support The Enlisted Project.  We will be helping junior enlisted families throughout Southern California.  The drive will end on April 15th and the district will pick up the bins for distribution to STEP.  Please see the attached flyer.

Thank you for your support!

Our lost and found cart is full! It is placed outside adjacent to the front of the school. Please take a few moments this week to look through our Lost and Found to see if anything belongs to your child. You may be surprised. Thank you.

Please discuss crosswalk safety with your child. It was reported today that a few students crossed a crosswalk without waiting for a signal and almost caused an accident. Fortunately, they were able to cross safely. Here is a link to help you: Crosswalk Safety.
