For Parents to Know
Reminder!
A reminder to all UPK-4 parents: early dismissal this week is on Tuesday 12/10.
Please check your principal’s weekly message regarding rescheduling parent conferences because of the snow day.
Come enjoy some beautiful holiday music!
The Iroquois HS Choirs will be presenting a special holiday concert on Friday, December 13 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna. (This replaces the previous M&T Noontime Concert Series) Our talented students will be performing a beautiful mix of Christmas music of many styles and genres!
Red Hawks Nest Project
The Red Hawks Nest Project needs your help! Donate now and your contribution will be doubled, thanks to the generosity of the Butterfly Foundation!! We have raised $13,910 for a total of $27,820 of our $140,000 goal. Follow the link to donate: https://school-giving-drive-temp-53335.cheddarup.com/
Marilla Primary Pavilion
Marilla Primary is currently raising funds to add a pavilion and four-square pad to our playground. The Kiwanis Club of Marilla is leading these efforts. The plans have been submitted to NYS for approval. We are about $10,000 short of our goal. The Kiwanis Club of Marilla is hoping to contribute funds raised at their Pancake Breakfast in March. If you have questions or would like to donate, please contact Brian Putney at 716-857-0211.
