Pulaski County Counselors Association is planning a summer book drive that will directly benefit our students that may need extra support for summer literacy.
We are asking families to donate gently used books now through May 12 to your school counseling office. Books of any genre are accepted as they will be distributed to children of all ages in our District.
Baker Parents: While we love parent support and volunteers in the building, during testing we will not allow any vistors in the building (this includes lunch). We will be testing through May 5. Thank you in advance!
Today is Arbor Day. The Arbor Day Foundation encourages everyone to plant a tree, find a local tree planting event, or donate to programs to ensure trees continue to be put in the ground.
