Happy Friday!! By the time you read this, we will have completed our
Walk-a-ThonFundraiser. I want to personally thank everyone for supporting
our PTO, students and staff as all funds go to provide equipment, supplies, materials,
support, and fun activities throughout the year. Your continued dedication
to our school is what makes us who we are.
With the recent weather issues during the school day, I want to assure you that we
monitor severe weather constantly with the help of law enforcement. We have
plans in place should severe weather arise that we practice on a regular basis.
I appreciate the trust that you have given to us to ensure the safety of our
students, parents and staff while they are on campus.
Have a great weekend!
Mark Lewis

Dear Parents,
If you have any pictures from any of our
music programs or choir performances,
I would LOVE to have them!
You can send them on a CD or flash drive,
email them to me at mccoya@conwayschools.net,
or send printed copies to me with your
children. I’m trying to keep a scrapbook of what we’ve done every year,
but the only bad thing about being in charge
is that I never get to take any pictures of them!
Thanks so much for your help!
Mandy McCoy
