You may have noticed fliers around school last week about our book fair! More information will be sent home in the coming weeks about how and when to purchase books.
Are you looking for a way to support our Payne Wildcats? We are currently raising monies for two exciting projects…
Help us get new classroom libraries and send the Robotics Club to Kentucky!
Robotics Club
Our Robotics Club won the Elementary School Excellence Award and has qualified for the 2017 VEX Worlds Championship in Louisville, KY this April! We are hoping to raise enough funds to pay for the registration, bus fare, and lodging so our students can take advantage of this exciting opportunity!
Classroom Libraries
We are raising monies to purchase Scholastic Libraries (300 books each!) for the 4th and 5th grade classrooms.
