PTA PTA has 4 I-Moms Breakfast and 4 Pro Dad Breakfast each year where they come with their children at 7:30 and have breakfast. This program is ran by Tony Dungi and his wife and it really matches well with the 40 Developmental Assets.

At Home Reading Program Children get monthly Reading Logs and fill them out with the books that they read at home and return them to school and get a prize. The classroom teachers understand that some homes are not conducive to reading so they allow some of the students to count their DEAR Time reading. At the end of the year EVERY student that brought all of their Reading Log back earns a PIZZA PARTY with Mr. Dominy and and Ice Cream party with Mr. Stednitz.
