Helping Those Effected By Hurricane Sandy:  

Mrs. Meier, our 5th grade teacher, has connected with teachers in the Uptown School in Atlantic City.  Many of the families in this school district have lost all of their possessions, from clothes, diapers, school supplies, and in many cases their homes.  Several classrooms have coordinated to bring in items, in conjunction with the Thanksgiving drive to be donated to these families.  Please contact your classroom teacher for more information.
