Our school picture make up day is happening on Monday, November 16th. If you need to have your child's picture retaken-or if your child was absent, please reach out to your classroom teacher and they will send a picture day flyer home to you. We will also take whole class photos on make up day.

Our PTO Lyman Pie sale is on for one more week. The last day to order pies will be Friday, November 13th so that delivery can happen just before the holidays. Pie pickup will be Monday, December 21st.
