Shout out to Kim Taylor Knight, Ava Untermyer and Emanuela Alves for hosting a team of funders from EdVestors this morning.

November, 2018 Curley Cares Student Awards

The next Curley Cares assembly of the 2018-2019 school year will be held in Friday, November 30, 2018.

Throughout the year, reach out to members of your grade-level team, paras, specialists, and other staff to help try and make this happen. With this in mind PLEASE take a moment to recognize students who are doing their best to support the Curley Cares way.
Please use the NOVEMBER 2018 FORM to submit student names so they may receive an award at our Friday, November 30, 2018 Curley Shares assemblies.
