THANK YOU GUADALUPE FAMILIES!

The Guadalupe Giving Drive ended last month, and we reached almost 90% of our overall goal. The teachers want to thank all the families who gave what they could for the drive, and their continued support during distance learning. Parents without your generous donations, we wouldn't have these great classrooms online, and eventually, in-person. Please don't forget your Giving Drive Donation is considered tax-exempt and can be matched through corporate matching programs.

Strubeck-Landis / Suseov / Dixon

Traffic Safety Parents

With the school inching closer to an increase of in-person instruction in the New Year, we need parents to help volunteer during the morning drop off and a few parents during the pick-up time.
