Please see the following changes to today's after-school activities made due to anticipated inclement weather. We hope this allows all students, staff, and families to make it home safely.
We started out celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a special treat for all staff members. We want to give a huge thank you to Smart Insurance for generously sponsoring lunch from a local food truck and handing out drinks to go with the delicious food. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do, and thank you to our local business partners who made this possible!
