We understand that celebrating your child’s birthday is a happy occasion and may be something you want to share with their classmates at school. Please note that food is not allowed for birthday celebrations as part of our district’s Wellness Policy. Only non-food items will be permitted at school.
Non-food suggestions include: coloring books, crayons, books, school supplies, stickers, pencils, erasers, white board markers, etc.
Any food items brought to school for birthday celebrations will be sent home or returned to parent(s).

Today our Timberwolves learned the value of trying their very best, not being afraid of making mistakes, and never giving up. It was nice to see students around campus having conversations about perseverance. Way to go Timberwolves!
Yesterday, our Timberwolves were hearing the APEX lesson about working it out! Sometimes, things don’t go our way. Sometimes, we win, and other times we lose. Sometimes, we simply disagree about a decision or an issue. No matter the outcome, we have a responsibility to Work It Out with respect!
Thank you,
