❤️ We Love Learning!
We will continue to do our drawings quarterly, but we will still take all entries! Simply bring in your grade card whenever you receive it and we will enter it into the next drawing – regardless of if you are trimester or quarter. Our gym will continue to have four drawings a year, so just remember to do well in school and bring in your grades! We will post drawing dates for the 2024-2025 school year when the school begins.
