Student Council Bake Sale Success: The annual Elementary Student Council Bake Sale was a huge success on Thursday, 2-18-21. Student Council members recruited people to bring a dozen treats. Student Council President Emma Pugh reports that we had 42 dozen treats to sell @ $.50/treat. Monies gained



will go into future Student Council events such as a free root beer float day and a popsicle day. Good job, students for organizing! Thank you to the many parents, grandparents, and students who baked and donated their time, supplies, and love for our students.

Smarter Balance Testing Dates:

To ensure the best possible results for testing weeks,

please make sure your child(ren) get a good night’s

sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school in a

happy and excited frame of mind. Of course, in a perfect

world this would occur every day. Thank you, parents,

for your best efforts on behalf of our children. 😊
