It’s that time of the year…. The talent show is quickly approaching (February 2nd at 10:00). We would love to have you share your talent with us!  We are looking for NEW talent this year!  If you’ve done the same act for the past two years…. We’d like you to think of a new act to try out. Do you play an instrument or sing? Can you dance or juggle? Know any magic tricks or good jokes?  We’re also looking for Middle School Students who want to organize small groups to participate in our first Lip Sync Battle!!  Please fill out this form if you are interested in performing and return it to the office before Friday, January 27th.  Remember that individual lip sync acts are not accepted, due to the limited amount of time.  Performers need to provide their own music, costumes, props etc. ALL Music selections must be submitted to the office by January 27th for PRIOR approval.  Please see Mrs. Priddy with any questions.

January Lunch Menu

Orders can be placed until 7am on the day of the meal at www.orderlunches.com

Don't forget you can also order milk to go with home lunches- you can either order on-line or by sending in your milk money weekly or monthly to the office in an envelope marked with your child(ren)'s name.  Please do not send in milk money daily- it is difficult to keep track of all those quarters in the office. Thank You.
