Entertainment Book Fundraiser Your child brought home an Entertainment Book last week. This is fundraiser sponsored by our PTO. Please consider selling these books to help raise funds for our school. Our PTO receives 50% of the price of each book that is sold and your child can receive many exciting prizes. The PTO is planning on using these funds for various things, including playground upgrades and technology. Please remember to return the unsold Entertainment Books or payment for the sold book as soon as possible. Math Test Wednesday Students will be bringing home their math books Monday and Tuesday night to complete their homework. Please help your child with this so they can be prepared for their test on Wednesday. If you notice your child struggling with a specific topic, please write Mrs. Parke a note so she can help them.
