Parents and Guardians......get ready to celebrate our teachers next week!

On Friday, May 10th, our school will be participating in a walk for St. Jude. Please refer to the flyers for more specific details! This year we will be fundraising as a school for St. Jude. On the flyers attached, you'll find a QR code for donations. Mrs. Harless currently has a student who is a St. Jude patient. The flyer she created, with his family's permission, tells his story. We are hoping that this information will help both students and families understand the purpose behind the walk and fundraiser. During the walk we will travel as grade levels through the neighborhood behind Stevenson. In addition, families will be invited to line the sidewalks to cheer on our students. This walk should take 10-15 minutes at most. Classes/students are encouraged to wear their St. Jude shirts/or yellow and can make signs/posters to carry as they walk. It's going to be an awesome event!

PTO is hosting a Dine to Donate at Panera in Bloomington on Wednesday, May 1 from 4-8. We’d love for you to join us!
