Request for Empty Cereal Boxes for School Project
Dear Parents,
Our building is planning a project in October, and we need your help. If you have any empty cereal boxes at home, please send them to school with your child. These will be used for a creative activity.
Thank you for your support!

We still have boxes of chocolate for the students to sell for Georgia Matthew's. All the money the school makes goes back to the kids. Some of the things we use this money student T-shirts, help with the cost of field trips, and student celebrations.

Panther plains is open for business Wednesday before school starts!!

Don’t forget if you are interested in joining us for the homecoming parade today! Be here behind the Icehouse. The parade starts at 6:00!!

Here is a learning opportunity from KU Med for parents who have children with Autism or other significant disabilities with behavior-related concerns. This training is being held during our KU Med Outreach Clinic at Sienna Medical in Garden City on April 10.
