We could still use a few volunteers.  Please sign up here if you can spare a couple of hours helping kids find books at the fair:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0548aaa72ca4fe3-weneed


PTO appreciates you signing up to help in any of the following ways.
Staff Appreciation is May 6-10 and you can still help, Sign Ups:

J1 1st grade students have been learning about people and inventions that have changed the world. We have studied ocean life and learned how humans impact our Earth. 
We learned that about 20% of clothing gets reused or recycled. That means 80% gets thrown away and ends up in landfills or oceans.
J1 wants to change this.  We will be having a clothing and shoe drive from April 29 - May 10. Then we will take the items to The North Face store to their program called Clothes the Loop.
