On Thursday, April 2nd Kindergarten will take part in a “Teddy Bear Clinic”, and volunteers from the Pottsville Hospital will be visiting our Kindergarten classes. Students are asked to bring a teddy bear to school that day. (If a teddy bear isn’t available, then any stuffed animal will do; preferably one with an arm) One per child is all that is needed.
Reminder: Kindergarten Physicals will also be held on Thursday, April 2nd.

The Easter vacation has been revised. There will be NO school for teachers and students Thurs., April 9th, Friday, April 10th and Monday, April 13th.

If interested in purchasing pictures, then please return the money before or on the day of pictures. **Each child will be photographed as part of a class photo even if a package is not purchased, so please plan on your child wearing a WHITE COLLARED SHIRT and girls, no hairstyles on top of your heads because you will be wearing graduation caps and gowns!
