Dancing with our Stars

Tickets for Dancing with Our Stars are now for sale in the office or by contacting anyone who is participating. This year we have the following dancers: JR Williams, Jen Hales, Lois Omonde, Jessica Adams, Angi Godard, Amanda Brinkley, Stacey Roberson, Sharon Main, Mila Arnold (their dance instructor), and Nico Nathan (special guest)!

This is a fundraiser for Eagle’s Wings the local food pantry here in Washington. You must buy your tickets from us for our team to get the most points to win. The date is set for Saturday, August 11th and there are two shows. The afternoon show is only $10 per seat and the evening show is $20 per seat.

Come out and cheer loud for our staff.  It is a fun evening for all who attend and we are hoping to see you there!

Ms. Bosso and Mrs. Smigel need more copy books for the students to use in the class room.  If you have any or would like to make a donation to the class it would be greatly appreciated. 

KidsFest Dessert

We need to make 50 crepes to serve in the class room.  If you can help make them.  You can make them at home, keep them in the refrigerator and then send them in on Thursday.  If we can get 5 people to make 10 each it would be helpful and hopefully not overwhelming for one or two people.
