Due to weather the Tree Planting Event scheduled Saturday, December 05, 2009 has been cancelled. New date TBD.

Help us plant trees. Bring shovels, pick axes, grubbing hoes, wheelbarrows, mulch forks and garden rakes for spreading mulch and gloves.

We plan on having a rubber-tire loader on-site to unload and place the trees and do most of the digging; If DPS confirms no underground power cables.

If the weather is rainy or otherwise "iffy", call Will at 369-8620 before coming out. New date TBD.

Thanks for the generosity of our local grocers for the donations they provided for the Ice Cream Social!

PTA Fundraiser Update

The PTA Fundraiser celebrations for reaching $7,500 (Prize Fairy Visit) and $10,000 (Silly Teacher Surprise) sure have been a lot of FUN! We have even already earned but not yet received the $12,500 prize (Mascot Day) but let's keep the donations coming in so we can make it to $15,000 and have an Eagle Extravaganza!

Next PTA Board Meeting: Tuesday, December 8

Reminder! The next PTA Board Meeting will be held on December 8 at 6:30 pm in the media center. All parents are welcome to attend this meeting. Any questions please contact Liz Yancy at emyancy@hotmail.com or 401-9439.
