Health and Wellness Challenge

Independent Health and the Buffalo Bills have teamed up to give WNY an extra incentive to get healthier by introducing the Health & Wellness Challenge, which is a six-week program to encourage a healthy lifestyle and improve your overall well-being.

Please keep on eye on your child's red folder and/or your teacher's newsletter/website for Halloween or Fall Festival events in the classroom.  Due to a lack of volunteers and safety concerns, the PTO will not be hosting a trick or treat evening this year.  It was wonderful to see so many of you all at the Ice Cream Social event!

We are having an AUTHOR VISIT on November 9!  Cynthia Cotten will be speaking with all of our students about being an author and sharing her books.

If you would like to pre-order books for your child to be signed by the author, please use this link:
