Kindergarten's favorite Dr. Seuss characters!
Due to the snow day today the elementary change drive to support our rural fire department and families will extend to Monday, March 11th. Thanks to everyone for their support.
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW: Due to poor weather conditions, as well as student and staff illness, there will be no school tomorrow. Kindergarten Roundup will be rescheduled.
Yesterday high school students participated in an act of service. 9th-12th grade students went down to the fire hall and detailed all the fire and rescue vehicles. They also cleaned shops and the office in appreciation of all our local volunteer fire fighters do for our town and school. Afterwards they enjoyed ice cream and a photo shoot with the fire trucks all thanks to the fire fighters. It was truly a fantastic experience!
