Staff & Student Spirit Week
Shop with A Hero
There is a possible opportunity for a few students to be selected to shop with a selected staff member. If you are aware of a student who would benefit from this opportunity, please complete the form link below. THIS IS SECRET, PLEASE DO NOT TELL the nominated students.

Operation Warm Shoe Event
Change to Note: 6th grade will no longer be included in the event. We will have a supply of shoes after the event and will match as many 6th grade students to the appropriate sizes and colors as possible.
A size mat and photo release forms will be in your mailbox on Monday.
To streamline the event as much as possible, please collect size estimates for each of your students before leaving for winter break. Consider incorporating it into a fun activity, such as using it to discuss numbers and measurements. Your size list can be placed in Deckard’s mailbox.
Photo release forms do not affect whether students get shoes, and should be brought with your class to the event.
