Traffic: There have been many close calls with cars going through cross walks while children are crossing, injured pets, fender benders and double parked cars around campus. Please drive responsibly when dropping of or picking up students. The safety of our students is everyone's top priority.

Cougar Wear order forms are available here under Resources: You can print a form, fill it out, attach payment and send it to (or drop it in) the PTSO box in the office (or swing it by the store when its open). You'll be called/e-mailed when your order is in. You can see an image of the new logo for this year on the form itself or pop by the school store to see a sample T-shirt. Available to order are both long and short sleeved Ts; crewneck, hoodie and zippered-hoodie sweatshirts; sweat pants; polos; and long-sleeved denim shirts. Orders are taken on-going throughout the year.

Wish List: If you have any of these items at home that are not being used or find them for a good price, our students would love to have use of them!

• Hand sanitizer: Teachers go through a lot of hand sanitizer. Donations of pump bottles of hand sanitizer can be taken to Nurse Bonnie in the office for distribution.
• Extra pants for students who may need to change during the school day for various reasons: gently used sweat pants or long pants in sm, med or lg sizes. Most needed are sizes 5-10 but some larger are often needed too. Socks can always be used too. (No shirts needed at this time)
• Old Instruments: Do you still have that old clarinet or violin in the attic? Mrs. Brown could use them for demonstration purposes. It's so much better to see, feel and hear an instrument then to just see a picture and listen to a recording.
• CD-R blanks: Mrs. Brown uses lots of these for morning sing and for student performance recordings.
