Weekly Updates

Our fifth grade students recently had the opportunity to submit artwork for the Palmetto Pride "Litter Trashes Everyone" Art Contest. Huge congratulations and good luck to Willa H. for being our school winner and to Lily Z. as runner up! The winning piece will be entered into the statewide competition.  All the artwork was so impressive!

Valentine’s Day Dress Down on Friday, February 13
In celebration of Valentine's Day, students may wear red and white; uniforms are not required.  Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Winter hats may be worn outside; no hats are allowed indoors. 
• No open-toed shoes, Crocs, or slides.
• If your child has PE, please wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothing. 
• No pajamas or anything resembling pajama pants (traditional sweatpants are acceptable).
• No onesies. 

Reminder: MS Basketball Uniform Return
If your child’s basketball coach did not collect uniforms as a team, please return your child’s uniform to Coach Crenney’s office by Friday, February 13. Because we have many duplicate uniform numbers, please return each uniform in a bag clearly labeled with your child’s name and grade. Thank you so much for your help and for returning uniforms in a timely manner. We truly appreciate your support throughout the season!
