Exciting news from the PTO! We had several families submit extracurricular logos which were ultimately narrowed down and voted on by staff and students. This fox and logo will be used when PTO purchases items such as spirit wear, uniforms, a flag and tent, and various other items we fund. Thank you to all of our families who submitted logos. We hope you like it, go Foxes!!

Board of Education Vacancy

We are just 2 months away from our annual Wine and Stein fundraiser on March 7th, 2026.  Our goal this year is to raise enough money to purchase a 10 passenger van for school, extracurricular, and athletic use. We believe this will be extremely beneficial and useful for students who participate in various classes, activities, and games that aren't located at the school.

The Wine & Stein website is ready for donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales. Please remember if you are donating any items, we would appreciate it if you submit them using the form online with the details including a name, photo, description, and price value. 

A family letter will be coming home this month with more information on how you can help as a family. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
