Thank You! From 4th & 5th Grade

Heritage Night was a huge success!! 4th & 5th graders raised money by preparing a dish that is from their heritage or special to their family in some way. A silent auction was also held with items generously donated from our community. Students served community members and families, raising over $3,000. Funds will go toward KMTA field trips, such as Snow School and Outdoor School for 5th graders. These programs allow students to learn about snow science through hands on exploration.

Thanks to PTA for your support with this event!

Thank you to the Bohart family and the Resurrection Lutheran Church for hosting our event.

A big shout out to the following local businesses for donating auction items!

Apex Fitness ~ a cross-fit fundamentals class!

Ranting Raven ~ tons of wonderful kids gifts and household items

Catalyst Marine ~ $50 gift card for Forest Tides and Treasures

Lavina Dickinson ~ 2 one-hour massages

SLT Candy Grams

Candy Gram Sales start tomorrow!

SLT will be selling Candy Grams this week. What is a candy gram you ask? A candy gram is a sweet gesture where a candy cane is attached to a personalized message and delivered to someone. Send them to your friends and classmates! They will be delivered to classrooms next week. Buy them before school in front of the office or during the last 20 minutes of your lunch period. They are 50 cents each.

*Parents, especially parents of younger students, If your child is purchasing multiple Candy Grams, in order to help our Student Leadership Team process orders, please list your child’s recipients’ first and last names on a paper or on an envelope and place the cash inside the envelope.
