If you thought the 100th day was exciting, wait until we tell you that our fifth graders celebrated their 1,000th day of school that same day! They celebrated by counting 1,000 kernels of popcorn to have for a snack and made a paper chain 1,000 links long!





Yesterday afternoon, our full faculty and staff attended a two hour presentation by Connor's Climb that was centered around School Connectedness. Connor's Climb provides suicide prevention education by raising awareness, reducing stigma, and equipping youth, educators, and the community at large with tools and resources focused on school aged children. We are grateful for this important training.


Good morning,
Due to an unforeseen incident, the brown bus route is running approximately 25 minutes behind its usual schedule. Students on this route will be picked up by the RED bus.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!

Happy 100th day of school to our 1st-8th graders!
(Don't worry kindergarten, you get to celebrate next week!)

Look at these lucky learners from Mrs. Lennon's classroom! They recently designed their very own winter hats and turned their creations over to the Hammel family. Last week, their templates were returned with ACTUAL handknit hats!!
What a treasure these gifts are, thank you Hammels!
