A big thank you to the school staff who contributed their time and talent toward creating such a meaningful day.

Thank you to all the parents who have already signed up to volunteer. We still need many more so if you are willing to be a volunteer for our trips, please make sure your paperwork is current for this school year in the office. If you are unsure if yours is current, please stop in or call the office to find out.
We are missing many forms for the trip from our student. Please ask your child if their form is in and help them get that handed in as soon as possible.
