This past Tuesday we were able to hold our Fun Run Event for the students and they had such a Blast!
Thank you to all families that were able to donate to this event. Your donations help fund events that the PTA puts on throughout the year like a Holiday Party, Family movie nights & more.
Our goal this year was to raise $15,000 and we currently are at $14,200! So so close!! The donation window is open for a couple more days for any last minute donations.
Thank You Captain Families, the students really do have so much fun with this event :)
Free and reduced-price meal benefits will expire on Wednesday, Oct. 8, for students who have not renewed their application from last school year. Families must reapply for meal benefits each year to continue receiving meals at a reduced rate and/or to waive or reduce certain fees (this also requires a consent to share form). Only one application is required for each family, and the information is always kept confidential.
How to reapply:
Complete the application in Skyward.
Download an application.
Pick up an application at your child’s school.
please see info below regarding the process:

In May we were able to uncover a Time Capsule that was buried by Captain Strong students in the year 2000!
It was a fun time to connect with the Teacher in charge at the time Carla Nalley as well as a few students who participated that are all grown up :)
Please enjoy these photos below of a few items that were salvaged/ cleaned up on display near the main office.
