Our Niagara Presidential Inaugural Ball was a big success!
Thanks to all our parents who sent in food, and more thanks to those who served at the reception.  We couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks also to Riverbend Academy and Steve & Wendy Casey for demonstrating the tango and then teaching our students a fun dance!

Thank you, parent volunteers for helping with the dance on Friday, Nov.9!  Attendance was down, but we still made several hundred dollars to spend on technology at our school!  You assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you, parent volunteers, for helping make the Scholastic Book Fair such a big success.  We raised over $1000 to purchase new books for our library!

SBDM Meets every third Thursday of the month @ 4:30 in the media center.

Thanks so much to the great parent volunteers who helped with the Niagara Book Bistro!  Students had a wonderful time and they all got a "new" gently used book to take home.  All leftover books will be saved for the Spring Fling book walk. 

 

Thank you, Grandparents, for making Niagara's annual Grandparent's Day Breakfast a huge success!  We had 257 grandparents attend and we will make over $800 on souvenir photos for our school technology fund! 
Niagara loves Grandparents!

 

A big thank-you also goes to the parents who came to help us out on Grandparent Day.  They helped serve food, sign-up for photos, and clean up.  Niagara loves its Parent Volunteers, too!
