Welcome
Buckle up for a long weekend - next Monday is a holiday and Tuesday the kids have off for Teacher-Caregiver conferences.
Tonight our Musicals on the Move afterschool club is performing Alice in Wonderland in the Lee Auditorium at 6 pm - these kids have been working hard since last semester - come see them shine on stage!
Also, there are still a few volunteer spots for Geography Day on Feb. 27 - it should be a super fun, kid facing volunteer opportunity! Sign up here.
Library Classes next week will also adjust to accommodate for the holidays and testing - classes that have library Monday and Tuesday will not have library next week due to testing. Please see the schedule below and help your student remember their library book on the right day!

Mendocino Farms Receipt Share
Join us next Thursday, 2/19!
Join us on Thursday, February 19 (2–9pm) at Mendocino Farms for good food and great company.
With beautiful patio weather (fingers crossed!), it’s the perfect excuse to meet up with classmates, catch up with other parents, and enjoy dinner together as a community.
Even better — 50% of all orders (dine-in, takeout, or online) will be donated back to our school. Just show the flyer (below) when ordering. Online code GOGIVEBACK.
The funds raised help make special moments possible for our students — including Movie Night, Geography Day, Valentine’s class parties, and so much more.
Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and let’s fill the patio with school spirit! 💛

Outdoor Classroom Progress Update
A huge thank you to the amazing Roadrunner parents David Volk & Connor Duffie of Waller Building Co who's crew came on campus Thursday after school to remove concrete attached chicken coop posts, and hauling them away. The area is much safer for students now.
