Crossing Guard Collection – We are collecting money for the crossing guard end of the year gift. As you know, they all do a lot for everyone, and keep our kids safe daily. If you would like to give towards their gift, please drop off your donation to Mrs. Jerves in the front office at school. If you would like your name listed on their cards please make sure to add your name/or last name on your envelope. Please no checks, as the money is going directly to the crossing guards. Please drop off your contribution by the end of school on Tuesday, June 6th so that we have time to give them their gifts.
