Greetings Ardenwood Families,
Dragons kicked off the month of October with our biggest school fundraiser of the year, the Dragon Dash. Thanks again to our families, friends, corporate donors, teachers, staff and PTA team for this successful fundraiser.
Dragons are busy with Math Olympiad, Choir, Garden Club, Basketball, Student Council and more. Thanks to all who participated in the PTA Reflections program. Ardenwood wrapped up the month with schoolwide & classroom celebrations--Harvest Festival, Diwali, Dia De Los Muertos and the ever popular Ardenwood Annual Costume Parade.
