Dear Families,
We have an exciting few weeks ahead, filled with opportunities to celebrate kindness, connection, learning, and community!
Our campus Raise Craze Fundraiser has officially kicked off! From September 11–25, our students will be raising money through Acts of Kindness—a wonderful way to teach our children that making a difference begins with how we treat and serve others. Please consider donating and supporting our fundraiser as we continue to improve student spaces and enrichment activities across our campus.
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” — Aesop
Hello Week is also happening during this special time! From September 21–25, students are invited to participate in our fun dress-up days as we celebrate friendship, belonging, and the importance of making sure everyone feels seen, valued, and included. Be sure to check out the dress-up schedule!
September is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. While we raise awareness throughout the year, September gives us an extra opportunity to stand alongside children and families impacted by childhood cancer. Wear your Gold Fight Win shirt—or anything GOLD—on Fridays! Together, we can show our support and spread the message: It is time to cure childhood cancer! 💛
Our Student Clubs are also in their sign-up period! We are excited to offer our 3rd–5th grade students opportunities to explore their interests, build relationships, and get involved beyond the classroom. Please see the flyers below for club information and sign-up details.
And let’s have some FUN this Tuesday for National Dot Day! 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣 We want to see ALL THE DOTS! Wear polka dots, colorful dots, big dots, little dots—or as many dots as you can find—as we celebrate creativity and the unique mark each of us can make on the world.
As we enjoy all of these special events, please remember that every school day matters. Students should arrive by 7:55 a.m. each day. If your child is eating breakfast at school, please have them arrive by 7:45 a.m. We also ask that students remain at school through the end of the instructional day whenever possible. We are teaching and learning until the very end of the day, and every minute with our students is valuable.

Thank you for helping us build strong habits around attendance and punctuality and, most importantly, for being our partners in your child’s education. When students show up every day, ready to learn, incredible things can happen!
Finally, we look forward to seeing everyone Monday for our annual KISS (Kids Invite Someone Special) Luncheon! We love welcoming the special people in our students’ lives to campus and cannot wait to share this wonderful tradition with you.
Thank you for your continued partnership, generosity, and support. Together, we are creating a school community where kindness matters, learning matters, and every child matters.
With appreciation,
Wendy Anaya
Proud Panther Principal
