Yearbook Cover Art Contest!!
"Unleash your Kindness"; "Desata tu Bondad".
This year, our yearbook celebrates kindness! We want YOU to show what kindness looks like to you. It can be people helping others, friends sharing, animals being loved, acts of caring, or anything that warms your heart. Draw your idea of kindness for our Yearbook Cover — colourful, fun, and creative — anything that shows how powerful and joyful kindness can be. And remember to follow the guidelines - any artwork that does not meet the guideline requirements cannot be considered. The attached contest flyer details all the requirements for the cover art submissions. This year, we will have 12 finalists (2 from each grade)! Submissions are due Thursday, April 9th.
Traffic Safety Reminder
Please help keep students safe by observing crosswalks, parking rules, and speed limits near the school. Drop-off and pick-up times can be busy, so consider parking a block or two away and walking in. Review safe travel practices with your children, such as using crosswalks and looking both ways before crossing.
