HOT LUNCH PROGRAM The last day of our Hot Lunch Program was Thursday, March 30th. We would love to entertain other options in order to continue offering this service to our students. If there is a group of parents who would like to organize a NEW HOT LUNCH PROGRAM, we would love to hear from you. Maybe you know of a caterer who would be willing to offer healthy lunch options, or maybe you have a great contact at a local restaurant who would provide a lunch, or maybe you have a group of parents who love to cook healthy meals, whatever the option is...we are interested. Please contact Mrs. Oliver to submit your ideas and make a plan.

PROGRAMA DE HOT LUNCH El ultimo día del programa Hot Lunch fue el Jueves, 30 de marzo. Quisiéramos tener opciones para continuar sirviendo a nuestros estudiantes de esta manera. Si usted esta interesado en organizar un nuevo programa de Hot Lunch, por favor de comunicarse con la directora Oliver. Gracias.

It’s that time of year again!! Time for the Youth For Christ – Run for Youth on Sunday, May 7, at 1:00 p.m. Youth for Christ is a local organization that mentors the Valley’s youth and helps local youths raise money for summer camps and mission trips. Youth for Christ is teaming up with our school again to help us raise money for our kids. Any student who wants to run in the race is welcome. The race is at the high school and will last for one hour. If students raise at least $50, Youth for Christ will split all money raised by the students 50/50. Youth for Christ is also offering the opportunity for our school to have a concession stand at the race and 100% of those proceeds will go to our school. If you are interested in running the race or operating a concession stand please contact Michel Field at 970-379-0559.
