On Feb. 9, 2015 Phillips students who were top sellers from PTA’s fall fundraiser were invited to a Magic Show in the school gymnasium. Before the show began Phillips Library Associate, Heidi Ellefson was presented with a $5,000.00 check! This was possible only because of the determination of our students and families to make this fund raiser such a huge success. Thank you to our PTA for all they do to support our school and students! Our library now has 384 new books for our student’s learning.

Our students enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school! Here is Ms. Wolver’s first grade class dressed up for the celebration.
