We are excited to host a Scholastic BOGO Book Fair, May 3-7, 2021. We have not done one of these in the past, but one of our goals is to make sure students have books to read over the summer. The library does not receive any profit from this fair, but it does allow students the opportunity to purchase books for summer reading. The best way to allow your student to shop is to use the e-wallet option. With this option, students are only allowed to use what you put in the e-wallet and you are only charged for what they spend. Thank you for supporting our students the opportunity to read over the summer.

HS Track, JV BSB & JV SB have been canceled for this evening. I will talk to the A.D.’s early next week to see if we can make these up. Thanks.

Due to weather, the Rock Creek meet scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to next Monday. With that being said, we will NOT be attending the Rock Creek meet at all this year. Next Monday (4/19) is our FFA Banquet and we did not want to make our kids, who have already missed out on a full year of activity's, pick which event (Banquet or Track Meet) they would rather attend. So, we have figured out an alternative plan. We are foregoing the Rock Creek meet and working on scheduling a new track meet for the first week of May (3-7th). This is an open week for us and it will be beneficial for our athletes to have a meet in preparation for the league meet the following week. We have a couple of good options for meets to attend that week and will let you know as soon as something is scheduled.

The High School Track Meet scheduled at Rock Creek for Friday (tomorrow) has been postponed at this time.

We would like to thank Mrs. Bergin's Advanced Interior Design Students, Kiki Widau and Karlyn Gustin for their remodel of the Elementary Teacher's Lounge. It is beautiful! Great Job Girls!
