📚🍟 Fries for School Supplies is Back! 🍟📚
We are excited to announce that for the second year in a row, our local McDonald’s owner-operators are hosting the Fries for School Supplies fundraiser in our school district!
Last year, over $110,000 was raised for our area schools, and we’re aiming to do even more this year! 🎉
From August 26th to 30th, McDonald’s will donate 10% of sales from all a la carte Fries to help support our schools. It’s a delicious way to contribute to our community! 🙌
Good evening PILA families! This is Mrs. Braune with your weekly update!

Here are a few reminders for the week...
**All of the students that requested a bus have been given that information. Please make sure to be at your stop at least 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time on the first few days. Our routes cover a lot of territory and we want to make sure that everyone gets to school. Please be extra patient with our buses this week, both morning and afternoon, as the routes become established. Here comes the bus will be operational and we will send the information to parents this week.
**All of our students recieve free breakfast and lunch every day.
**Students are not allowed to bring a backpack or any metal cups or water bottles.
**High school students are encouraged to bring a plastic water bottle to refill at breaks.
