We still need donations for our Santa Store!

Please come by the school, 4760 Siskiyou Ave, and drop off any nice, lightly used items! This can include nicknacks, toys, blankets, fake trees, or anything you think a child would like to gift to their family for the holidays.

Any funds collected will go towards supporting student activities.

We really appreciate the community's support of our kiddos!

Did you know there are green, golden, and even red kiwi fruits!?! This wonderful variety was delivered on Monday thanks to The Milkman and Happy Valley Fresh. Today Mrs. Shirley organized a fun taste test before morning recess. Students tasted and then marked their favorite. Tomorrow a graph will be created out of the data they provided. The best part? Some of them discovered a new, healthy favorite! Some students thought they wouldn't like them at all, were happily surprised, and then asked to take some home to share with their families. Science, math, nutrition, and smiles. We count that as a win!

What a great turnout today for Haircut Day! With the overwhelming interest, not all students were able to receive a fresh cut. The generous barbers at Old Skool Barber Shop in Yreka are donating an additional day! How awesome is that! Wednesday next week, 11/12, they will arrive back on our campus. They aim to arrive at 9:00 am. The time it takes for each haircut varies due to the style requested as well as the student's ability to sit still - or lack thereof.

Here are a few pics from today's donated sessions. We appreciate our community partners!

Fresh permission slips will be sent home with the added date.

Please provide the office with confirmation for your student's ability to participate through email (staff emails on website), phone (530-235-4828), filling out the hard copy permission slip being sent home with students, or this link that brings you to a google form: https://forms.gle/HPy9oHBFwBnnvFxWA
