The district has been closely monitoring the weather and Superintendent Benson attended a webinar earlier today regarding the severe weather that's expected for later today. It appears that we could experience some challenging weather between the 4-7pm time frame. We are aware that other districts are opting for early dismissals. At this point, we will remain in school, but there will be no after-school activities today. The bus companies and our staff will prioritize getting everyone home safely once the school day ends.

Our first and second graders had a blast participating in the Kids Heart Challenge on Thursday and raised over $1,100 for the American Heart Association! With tons of energy and enthusiasm, they jumped at 10 different stations, showing off their strength, coordination, and school spirit. It was a fun-filled day focused on heart health, teamwork, and staying active — we’re so proud of all their hard work and effort! Thanks to our National Honor Students for their help throughout the morning, too!
