***Easter Break / No School - April 6-10th Save the Date - Saturday, May 13th We will be having wood chips delivered for our playground, and we will need LOTS of help to spread the wood chips. Please reserve the morning of Saturday, May 13th to help. We plan to work from 8am-Noon. Many hands make light work!
