Please join us in supporting one of our school partners Sole Train at their annual 5k on Saturday, October 26th. The more Curley community members that participate the more money that comes back to directly support the school. Sole Train is a no-competitive running club for grades 5-8.

Halloween at the Curley

We are again hosting Pajama Day on Thursday, October 31st. We would love to see our entire Curley Community wearing pajamas. We are asking everyone to donate $2 as a way to raise funds for our Curley Cares student initiatives throughout the school year.

The Curley K-8 will not have a Halloween celebration during the school day. As a community we are focused on health and wellness and therefore we ask that all candy remain at home. We are also asking that students leave all costumes, masks, face painting and clown paraphernalia at home as well. Thank you in advance for your support around this matter. Attached is our Celebrations Policy.
