Thanks to Orla for joining us for coffee this week. Please keep in mind we have 2 more of these coffees. If there is something on your mind that you would like to hear more about, chances are someone else might be wondering the same thing. Be sure to let us know what topics you might want to cover before the year is done! Speaking of done…our last day of school will be June 25th.

BIN sign ups ARE NOW OPEN (8pm Sunday) so get your bids in!
- Bid in the silent auction for some truly amazing items.

TEACHER APPRECIATION (May 11-15)
Teacher appreciation week is coming up May 11-15!
