NOVEMBER 2009 CALENDAR & NEWSLETTER

November Newsletter

Note from the Principal... Once again, our annual Pumpkin Patch was a huge success. We raised $20,000. This year's proceeds will go to purchasing the final round of activeboards and accessories for our last 5 teachers and some additional school beautification projects. A big thank you goes out to all parents who volunteered their time and help. On another note, please be sure to pay close attention to the school calendar you received at the beginning of the school year. We have many early release days this month and no school days coming up... Aloha- Trish Gerbo
