Upcoming Events:

Thursday March 20:  2nd graders will be taking a field trip to the Desert Museum.  I would greatly appreciate 6-7 parents that would like to volunteer to chaperone.  This would mean riding the bus with your child and about 3 other students and being responsible for them at the Desert Museum.  The field trip last almost all day, therefore students will eat lunch at the museum.  More information will be sent home as the time gets closer, however if you are interested please email me.
