First grade is an exciting year filled with many challenges and many joys.  
 
The children are taking a big step in the direction of independence.  
 
Even though this is a long process, now is the time to start!
 
This is a fundamental grade; skills that are taught in first grade will affect your child throughout their lives.  
 
One of our goals is to provide a framework of good study habits and organizational skills that will help your child now and in the future grades as well.  
 
We look forward to a new rewarding year filled with laughter and many memories.

Bake Sale 10/26/22

We are in need of items to be donated to our bake sale on Wednesday, October 26th.

We will be accepting NUT FREE baked goods, pre-packed or homemade form all grades.

All NUT FREE goods can be sent directly to your child's classroom and bake sale representatives will collect them after morning announcements.

Items will be priced at $1.00.

Wednesday is also our annual breast cancer awareness walk. The walk will take place during the day on campus at Gerardi Field.

All students are asked to dress down and wear something pink with a donation of $5.00. 

Please do not send in more than $3.00 per student for baked goods and it often becomes overwhelming for the lower grade students to purchase when they have too much money.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. Although we are only accepting NUT Free items, additional pre packed nut free and gluten free items will be purchased and set aside for those with allergies.
