Before we share what's on tap for the week, we wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to Meghan Hartley and Diana Gatschet for organizing an incredible teacher potluck!  Additionally, we want to thank Francesca Furlan for putting together such a lovely Art and Craft Fair!  She couldn't have done it without the support of Julie Schmidt, Amber Fox, and Sunny Hwang.  And thank you to all of the volunteers who supported these events during such a busy time of year - they are not possible without you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.  

Finally, please collect Art Contest Prints and Bake Sale Containers on Monday inside the main school entrance.
