Good afternoon! It has been a great week to be a Bulldog! I hope you and your family have a chance to enjoy this amazing weather.
Bulldog Hustle
Wow—you amaze us! Two-thirds of our students are already registered, and together we’ve raised over $27,000 with donations from 33 states! Do you have family or friends in Alaska, Hawaii, or Montana? Help us cross those states off our list! A big shoutout to Mrs. Calderon’s 3rd grade class for leading the way. Let’s keep the momentum going! Questions? See the attached FAQs.
