A huge thank you to all of our families who joined us for our Thanksgiving luncheon yesterday! We loved seeing so many of you here, sharing a meal and making memories with your students.

A special shout-out to our amazing kitchen staff for cooking such a delicious meal, and to all of our volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly. We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

We’re grateful for this community and the heart you bring to our school. 🧡🍁🦃

✨🎄 The Nutcracker is coming to Topeka! 🎄✨

We’re thrilled to share that the Kansas Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker will be lighting up the stage on December 20th & 21st — and this year’s show is extra magical.

Enjoy the timeless holiday favorite performed with live music by the Topeka Symphony Orchestra, along with professional guest stars who bring the story to life in the most stunning way.

Whether it’s a family tradition or your first time attending, this is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. ❄️🥁✨

Mark your calendars and get ready for a night of pure Christmas magic!

🎉 Hey Auburn Families! 🎉
Heads up — something delicious is coming home in backpacks tonight!

Your students will be bringing home packets for our PTO fundraiser featuring Kansas Maid Frozen Butter Braid Pastries (yes… the dangerously tasty ones 😄).

📅 Order packets are due back by December 2nd
🥐 Treat yourself, treat your loved ones… honestly, treat anyone who deserves a little buttery joy.

Thanks for supporting our school and our amazing PTO! 💙🤍

🦃 Friendly Reminder: Thanksgiving Lunch is Tomorrow 🦃

We are excited to welcome our families for our annual Thanksgiving lunch. Please remember:

• Guests will need to sign in at the office upon arrival.
• Plan to arrive 5–10 minutes early to allow time for check-in. Please make sure you know who your students' teachers are. That way it will help everyone check in quicker.
• After signing in, head to the cafeteria, where students will meet you and provide your meal ticket.
• If you did not sign up in time for the school-provided meal, you are still welcome to attend — simply bring your own lunch and enjoy the time with your student.

Thank you for helping this day run smoothly and for being part of this special tradition. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow! 🍽️💛
