PTA Holiday Food Drive continues through this week. Donations of non-perishable food items are being accepted for gift baskets that will be distributed next week to our Martha Lake families in need of a little help this holiday season.

   5th Grade Holiday Wreath sales also continue this week. Profits will be used for 5th grade Outdoor School Fees.

  Start of Day Issues:
    You have probably noticed that when the weather is wet and windy, our parking lot gets very congested! In order to help keep traffic moving, please remember that there are two lanes who need to merge into one at the exit of the lot and that if the crossing guard is there, you can only turn right.
    If you would like to park, please walk your student up to the building for their safety. Allowing extra time in the mornings will be necessary so that all students can be in their classrooms by 8:40.
   We are having many tardy students and we are not able to get the correct lunch counts sent in to the district which affects our food quantity.
   Please remember that the Martha Lake Baptist Church is another drop off and pick up location that might be a less stressful option. Thank you for your help with this continuing issue.
