We will host a special parent night for The Scholastic Book Fair on Thursday, Sept. 24, at our Title One meeting; the meeting begins at 5:30. Parents and students will be able to purchase books after the meeting is over at the special parent preview sale. Students will then be able to purchase books during the week of Sept. 28- Oct. 2. Create your child’s Book Fair eWallet, so they can shop cash-free and worry-free. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds!

Lace Up for Mission Excellence! 👟🐾
To our LUES partners,
It’s time to Lace Up for Mission Excellence and show our Bulldog pride! We are excited to kick off our Shoe Drive Fundraiser, and we need your help to make it a huge success.
This fundraiser is a win-win! Donated shoes will help communities in need around the world while also raising much-needed funds for our school. Proceeds will help support our Veterans Day Breakfast and other special school events and activities for our students.
Here’s how you can help:
👟 Collection boxes will be located at the end of each hall and in front of the Media Center.
📅 The shoe drive runs through October 31st.
📦 We need 100+ bags, with 25 pairs of shoes per bag, to qualify for free shipping!!
⚖️ The company pays us by the pound, and our BIG goal is 25,000 pounds of shoes!
📣 Help us spread the word!
🔗 Links and additional information can be found below.
Your support, enthusiasm, and willingness to participate make a tremendous difference.
Let’s come together, Be a Dawg #B.A.D., and show what Bulldog Strong really means. Every pair counts, every pound matters, and every contribution helps us continue our commitment to Mission Excellence.
Lace Up. Give Back. Be a Dawg. Let’s Reach 2,500 Pounds!
Thank you for helping us make this a fundraiser our entire school and community can be proud of!
