As we welcome the first weekend of spring, there’s a real sense of renewed energy around our school—longer days, warmer weather, and so many exciting opportunities for our students and families to connect. Spring is always a busy and joyful season, and our PTA has a full calendar ahead that reflects the spirit of our amazing school community.
In the coming weeks, we’re thrilled to offer a free afterschool soccer clinic for our 3rd and 4th graders, giving students a fun way to stay active and try something new.
Our Celebrate Great Falls Auction is also wrapping up soon—thank you to everyone who has already supported this important fundraiser, and don’t miss your chance to bid before it ends!
Spring also means memories in the making, and yearbook sales are underway so every child can take home a keepsake of this school year.
Thank you for being such an engaged and supportive PTA community, we look forward to a fantastic spring season together!
