Minatare Elementary School

The fifth graders of the Minatare Elementary Leadership Team have created a masterpiece. With all of their ideas coming together— animals, t-shirts, and drug free week slogans and sayings, they were able to create this adorable Red Ribbon Week bulletin board.

The first 100 kids will get in free of charge.

Teachers/staff/parents that are participating in the Pie in The Face for Cancer fundraiser: Samantha Preble Mr. Foster Ms. Simmons Mrs. Robbins Mr. Miller Coach Grumbles Olivia Calihua Hope Wurdeman No donation is too small (or big). At the end of 3rd quarter, the jar with the most money in it, wins. And that person will be "pied" at the end of the football game. We will also have an In Honor and Memory of poster for people to sign/dedicate in honor of someone they know or love that has been affected by cancer. It will be at both games. Please help the cheer squad raise money for our local Cancer patients and their families.
