Soccer, Basketball and Football Donations:
It is springtime and playground sports are in full swing. Classrooms are looking for ball donations for the students to use during recess time. We begin the year with playground balls and have replaced them a few times. We are now looking for ball donations from families. If you would like to donate a ball to your child’s class, please mark the ball with the grade and classroom teacher name so we know where the ball belongs. Thank you from all the children for your kindness and support.
