Important Announcement: School Closed on Thursday, December 12
Due to ongoing inclement weather and additional snow expected, we have made the decision to cancel school for today, Thursday, December 12.

Please stay home, keep warm, and stay safe. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Friday.

Students who finish breakfast early have been enjoying their mornings with the Mighty Milers Club. During breakfast time, they get extra time in the small gym to exercise, and rack up those steps! It’s a fun and gives students another great reason to arrive at school early.
