Dear Wildcat Families,

Thank you to Ms Grant for a very successful Scholastic Book Fair! It takes time and hard work to organize this event and we appreciate the parent volunteers who were able to help out to keep it open for shoppers throughout the week! She will be selecting new titles to add to our collection in the library with the proceeds of that fundraiser.

We have finished a few weeks of in-school track practices in which all our intermediate students had instruction and practice on all the events to prepare for our track team to compete at the North A Regional Meet on May 7th.

We have a limited number of track t-shirts, sizes Youth Medium and Youth Large, you can purchase in the office for $10 cash. We also have a couple of small sweatshirts ($20).

If your child is on the track team and would like to buy one, come and see us in the office.
