Attention Sports Teams! Tomorrow we will have a photographer at school to take team pictures. Please come wearing your jerseys and listen to announcements to be called down.
As we celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, we recognize that we all have individual strengths and talents. These unique traits help shape and enrich our school community. We invite everyone to join in on a fun bingo card challenge as a way to connect with each other. These cards are available in the guidance office.
