Welcome
Loteria night is tonight! We hope to see everyone in the cafeteria for the first PTA school-wide event of the year - we have some amazing prizes in store!
Your students were sent home with yellow school tshirts this week - these are provided by the PTA for kids to keep and wear throughout the year. Typically teachers ask that these shirts are worn on field trips - so hang on to them!
If you haven't seen yet, we've added some community groups to Konstella. These groups are opt-in - so join them below if you're interested.
And finally - help Lee win the PTA Early Bird Achievement Award - we're only 14 members away - join by Sept. 30th at www.joinpta.org
