I am alerting families because it is important to speak with your kids about leaving wildlife alone. Do not feed the kits or they may not leave the den as they are naturally supposed to do.

We hope all our Bulldogs enjoyed the April Break and found opportunities for fun as well as some refreshing relaxation! We have a long week ahead of us, but it's hard to believe that Friday will already be May! This Thursday, April 30, is an early dismissal day for students. Middle schools will dismiss at 11:45 AM. Student Council is holding a Boston Sports Spirit Day to raise money for students to show their staff appreciation next week during Teacher Appreciation Week! South PTO is holding a dine-out fundraiser to support the PTO mission at Jake N Joe's this Thursday, 4/30. On early dismissal days, lunch is not served in school, but students can still access a complimentary lunch by ordering a Grab-N-Go bagged lunch in advance. Don't forget to pick up your lunch at dismissal!
