This year marks the 10th Annual Treats for Troops Campaign with Miss Sawyer’s Kids With A Cause! Their goal is to send 10,000 filled stockings to our military members who won’t be home for Christmas. With many of our brave service members currently serving in the Middle East, your donations are more meaningful than ever! ❤️🤍💙
📅 Candy Drive: October 26th – November 6th
We’re asking our Upper Elementary students to participate by collecting candy while enjoying Halloween and the many Trunk-or-Treat events throughout our community! Once you’re done trick-or-treating, simply sort through your candy and bring in any individually wrapped Halloween candy you don’t want or can’t eat due to allergies.
🍭 How to Participate:
Place your unwanted, individually wrapped candy in the baggie that was provided or one from home.
Bring it to school and put it in the collection box marked for your grade level.
🎉 And there’s a sweet reward! Every participating student will receive a FREE ice cream cone from House of Flavors or Culver’s!🍕 The grade level that collects the most candy by weight will win an AMAZING pizza party from Hungry Howie’s! 🎉
Let’s come together as a school community to make a difference, spread some sweetness, and show our military members how much we appreciate their sacrifices this holiday season! 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you for supporting our brave men and women serving in our Armed Forces! 💙💛
Today we celebrated our September Student of the Month with a pizza party with three friends! 🍕⭐ Students also wrote an autobiography with Mrs. Baker, which is displayed on our front bulletin board, and their names are featured on the high school marquee!

Per our 26/27 handbook, we will be cleaning out our Lost and Found at the end of every trimester. We are about half way through the first trimester and we have A LOT of sweatshirts here at the Upper Elementary. If your student is missing something, please ask them to check the lost and found, or contact the office or their teacher and we can check. Lost and found items not claimed will be donated at the end of each trimester (November 29th) to local shelters, coat drives, or other locations looking for clothing items.
Check out the flyer below for the Upper Elementary Student Council’s selected school-appropriate dress-up days!
