Happy Friday Raptor Families,

Spring break is just around the corner and daylight saving time is this weekend. Please remember that our clocks spring forward. Please continue to encourage your student to engage fully in the learning.

As a quick reminder, our 7th and 8th Grade wrestling students finish their season off at Mead High School tomorrow at the District Wrestling Tournament. 

Our spring musical, Annie Jr. is being performed three times. Friday, March 7th, at 7:00pm, and Saturday, March 8th, at 11:00am and 3:00pm. Come out and support our performers! Next week, on Tuesday, March 11th, there is a Middle School Choir concert at 6:00pm.

With the warmer weather it is sometimes tempting to bring Fido along to drop-off or pick-up. As a gentle reminder, there are no pets on campus. Thank you for support in this matter. 

For your planning purposes, we wanted to let you know that CMAS is after break and starts on Tuesday, April 8th. Please see below for additional information.

Best Wishes, 

Catrina Estrada, Principal 

Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal 

Matt Romig, Assistant Principal 

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students

Celebrate your child’s THIRD QUARTER birthday by joining the Birthday Book Club and donating a book to the school library in their name! Each child who participates will have their name inscribed on a bookplate on the front endpaper of the donated book. We will take a picture of the birthday child holding their donated book and they will get the first chance to check it out.  Please write your email address on the line below so we can share the photo with you!

Here are two ways to participate:

1)  Write a check for $10 (or cash) to Thunder Valley K8 and we will 

     purchase and process the book in your child’s name.
