The Ice Bucket Challenge, a viral sensation, has helped raise awareness and funds for ALS, a disease more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s.  Former Boston College baseball captain and ALS patient, Pete Frates was diagnosed when he was just 27 years old.  He and his family helped the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge go viral, raising millions of dollars for the ALS Association research fund.

Come join us for an evening of fun and games!  We will be having our annual carnival on Monday, September 8th from 5-8pm.  The PTA will be holding a silent auction that evening and they need your help!  Attached you will find information about what you may want to donate to help prepare the baskets that will be auctioned off.  Watch for notes to be coming home as well.  Wrist bands and tickets will be on sale at the front office soon. 

Bringing back the laughter our first week of school!

Competition was tight in this year’s Teacher Idol assembly.  Grade level teachers came together and showcased their musical talents in a friendly rivalry.  The judge panel included the notorious Captain James Hook, the narcissistic Evil Queen, Wonderland’s adventurous Alice, the thrill-seeking Kristoff, and Princess Anna of Arendelle.  Each judge brought their own unique insight to the competition.
