    Wish List – Increase the Diversity of Our Books

    Help Chavez staff increase the diversity of books available to older readers! Staff have requested the books Later Gator and The Year of the Dog through the Chavez wish list to be used in reading groups for grades 3 through 5.

    Both these books feature Asian main characters and deal with themes of cultural differences, creating a natural way to discuss these important topics with our kids.

    You can donate toward the purchase of these books and other staff requests at chavezwishlist.cheddarup.com.

    Pastries with the Principal

    Feb. 27, 8:30 – 9 AM
    Come enjoy a meet and greet with our school’s principal right after morning drop off! Once your learner gets to their classroom, come stop by for some coffee, treats, and good conversation. Non-school aged siblings, or PM 4K students, welcome.

    Box Tops Reminder

    Keep clipping and scanning your box tops and receipts. Each box top is worth 10 cents for our school. You can send your paper box tops to your child’s teacher and they’ll put the box tops in our drop box.
