Lost and Found
Lost and Found - Unclaimed items donated on December 20, 2024
Our lost and found is full! Please be sure to check the lost and found before winter break. All unclaimed items will be Donated on December 20th.  

Remember to label coats and jackets, as well as lunch boxes. We’d love to be able to reconnect your child with their misplaced gear. Sharpies are a great option as are purchased clothing stickers from online vendors. Save yourself time and money and label their gear.
