Happy Custodians Day! We are so thankful for Ms. Thi and Ms. Yolanda for everything they do!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Hispanic Festival! It was such a fun event, and we loved seeing our families enjoy the music, food, and activities together.

A big congratulations to Ms. Zly’s homeroom for selling the most pre-sale wristbands! PTA will be rewarding them with a pizza party.

October is here, and we have so many exciting things happening this month! Please take time to scroll through this Cougar Connection carefully so you don’t miss any important updates and flyers. Also, follow us on social media for weekly calendars!
