Dear Parents,
We need your help. Kathleen Kerber has set up a wonderful afternoon full of dancing, raffles, snacks and other fun events to help support research for Metachromatic Leukodystrophy. Jump, Jiggle and Jive for Jasper (a Drummond family member) is set for February 23rd from 11am to 2pm.
We are grateful to all the families that have graciously donated to this worthy cause and we are still looking for sodas, juices, raffle donations and for lots of folks to attend. If you have any questions please contact Ms. Kerber at When you go to register yourself and your family you can go to www.jumpjiggleandjive.com this is an easy system to navigate and won’t take but a moment to complete. Please sign up soon so that we can be well prepared with our numbers.
Thank you for giving so generously,
Mark Neidlinger

1) Tomorrow, Valentines Day, will be an out of uniform day for all students.
2) Family Reading Night is coming up next Thursday, 2/21 from 5:00-8:00 pm. Part of FRN is the Book Swap! This is the perfect reason to clean off your bookshelves & clear out the books you or your little one have outgrown. Simply bring the books you’d like to trade to the Gallery sometime next week (between Tues - Thurs). Then while you’re enjoying Family Reading Night, head to the Art Room (room 204) to find treasures that someone else traded in. Board books, early readers, chapter books, even novels for grown ups are welcome!
