WEDNESDAY: 

  • It's WALK or BIKE to SCHOOL DAY! Join us for this fun annual celebration - we'll have cheer teams and treats stationed along your route!

    Want even more fun? Join us as a volunteer!

Husky Happenings
Brought to you by the PTO!
The Book Fair!

The Scholastic Book Fair might have been one of your OWN favorite childhood school memories growing up... and the PTO loves helping make sure our kids get that experience too!


We want to extend a HUGE thanks to our Book Fair (and Husky Gear) teams for working so hard to bring us an AMAZING week of Fair fun - including before and after school shopping hours so parents could play too!
