1st Annual Spaghetti Dinner
Please Join Us! On Thursday, February 2nd, the Bittersweet PTO will host its first Spaghetti Dinner in honor of the students participating in the Science Expo/LearningSphere. Student projects will be displayed from 4:45-7:00 pm in the gym. Please come and join us as we recognize and celebrate our students' accomplishments.

Please send a check to our food service department to put money on your child's lunch card. Or, you may use the website MyLunchMoney.com to add money and to view your child's account. When using MyLunchMoney.com, always put a zero before your child's ID number.
