As a fundraiser for our Grade 6 Musical, Willy Wonka Jr., there will be a pizza lunch for students and staff! The proceeds raised from our sale will help to offset costs related to purchasing props and renting microphones. We will be having the pizza lunch on two separate days. Students in Grades K-3 can order pizza at a cost of $2.00 per slice on Monday, April 15. Students in Grades 4-6 can order pizza at cost of $2.00 per slice on Tuesday, April 16. Please note: The English Grade 3 classes will have their pizza lunch on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 as these students have their lunchbreak at the same time as the Elementary students. Students will need to bring their own recess snack and beverage. All pizza will be supplied from Old Town Pizzeria. Students have the option of ordering either cheese pizza or cheese and pepperoni or one of each. Students can order a maximum of TWO slices each.

If you can spare 30 minutes in the morning, in the afternoon, or even at lunch time, any extra help would be appreciated. 

April Showers hopefully bring May Flowers, but right now, you need to know when to bring your April flute! Check below for a copy of the April Band Schedule. April Band Schedule
