Bike, Walk and Roll to School Days

Join us for Bike, Walk and Roll to School Days! Two mornings a year (1x in Oct and 1x in May), students are encouraged to forgo the busses and cars....and bike, walk, roller blade, scooter, skateboard, or roll to school with friends and family! Upon arrival to school, students are greeted with music, our mascot and more! No better way to start the day!

Bulletin Board

Help brighten our school by designing and updating bulletin boards throughout the year. Volunteers contribute as they are able: creating fun and engaging displays that bring extra joy and school spirit to our hallways.

Grade Level Captains

Grade Level Captains help build community at each grade level. They organize grade-wide events (park meet ups, happy hours, etc) for parents and/or families. It's a great way to connect each grade level!

This committee is also in the process of updating the faculty lounge with new furniture, paint and some appliances.
