Good News Club Update
Good News Club will begin on Monday, September 8.
Please note that since the cafeteria is being used as an afternoon dismissal area, the club will not start until 3:00 PM. This means the ending time will be 4:30 PM (not 4:00 PM as in past years).
Thank you for making arrangements to pick up your child at 4:30 PM. We are excited to kick off another great year of Good News Club!
