A reminder that our annual Block Party Open House is tomorrow evening from 5:30-7:00! This is an outdoor event that is a great opportunity to meet your child's teachers and tour the building if you are interested. There will be a Charleston meeting for 7th grade families attending that trip at 6pm in the library.
Yes, it will be hot! Please be sure to bring water and dress as comfortably as possible! We will have hot dogs, chips, and water available, as well as the cafeteria will be open for a cooling spot, but it's always a good idea to come prepared.
There will be additional vendors that will have food to purchase if you are interested.
We look forward to seeing you in the bus loop!
