5th Grade started their Starbase visits today.
Last night the BOE approved two changes to the current calendar:
1. LAST DAY of SCHOOL--May 19th
2. 8th Grade Promotion/JH Awards- May 17th
We made the change due to ZERO SNOW days and it allows our teachers time to pack and sort through items before we open the new facility in August.
Have a wonderful Spring Break, see you back March 20th.
Started the day with a little Structured Academic Controversy.
Congrats to senior Macey Maddy for being selected as one of the Abilene Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) scholarship winners for their Good Citizen Award!
We are just 21 days away from some of the GREATEST Donkey basketball you will ever witness, sponsored by Almost Home Realty - Shelly Crane. You won't want to miss out on the best donkey-riding talents you will ever see! But...we still need support for the donkeys! There are only NINE donkeys left! As a donkey sponsor, you or your business will get a personalized sign, announced with the presentation of the donkey, and name in the program. Take a look at what donkeys are left and see if one speaks to you!! This is a great way to support our school while having a little fun!
