Ms. Mary Ricci has been nominated for the DonorNation School Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of her valuable service to our school. Should she win this Award our school will win $5000.

To help ensure that Ms. Mary Ricci, and our school, win this important Award, we need your help. Please go to http://www.SchoolVolunteerAward.org and cast your vote for Mary Ricci.

It should only take you a couple of minutes to vote, but it would mean a lot to her, and of course our school could use the $5000 too.

So please go to http://www.SchoolVolunteerAward.org and cast your ballot for Mary Ricci and also urge your friends to vote too.

Thank you for your help and support.

The Curie Elementary PTA
Rock & Roll Laps for Learning!
took place on March 13, 2013.

Every year, our entire student body comes out to walk, jog or run to support the many programs that our PTA provides. The students collect pledges for running and donate the funds to the Curie PTA. The Curie PTA uses the funds to provide additional Art, Science, PE, Music, a Multi-Cultural Fair, School Performance, Junior Olympics and many other enhancement programs. The event has become our biggest fundraiser of the year!

Not only do our students help support these wonderful programs, many of our business community members have generously donated to Laps for Learning. We would like to thank the following business sponsors:
