I hope this message finds you well. I want to extend my gratitude for your continued support and involvement in our school community.
As we approach the holiday season, our theatre program is excited to announce our annual recycled costume project in class when we return after the winter break. We would greatly appreciate any donations of recycled items, such as cardboard boxes, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper, and especially present boxes! These materials will help our students create innovative costumes for their performances.
Please note that the donation collection will close on Friday, JANUARY 10th. A donation center will be set up in the teacher's lounge and grade level offices for your convenience.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students' creativity and sustainability efforts.
Best regards,
Monique Wallace

Lunchapalooza is coming to Panther Country! This special block lunch event will take place on Friday, December 20th. Students can bring $8.00 to the table in the cafeteria during their lunch time to pre-purchase their Lunchapalooza meal. For this amount, a student will receive 2 slices of cheese pizza, a bag of chips, and a soda or a bottle of water. Students are able to buy multiple meals if they would like more pizza. The presale window runs through Friday, December 13th. Students will NOT be able to purchase a Lunchapalooza meal after this date. Sales are cash only. On the day of the event, the lunch line will still be open, and students can still bring their own lunches if they prefer.
