Okay2Say
On Tuesday, September 17, our
students had the opportunity to participate in an OK2SAY
virtual presentation. OK2SAY is a state-wide program designed to
empower students, parents, guardians, and community members
to confidentially report any tips related to criminal activities or
potential harm directed at students, school employees, or schools.
The primary goal of OK2SAY is to prevent harmful behavior before
it happens, ensuring a safer environment for everyone. We believe
this program is an invaluable resource for our community and
encourage you to discuss its importance with your children.
Bike Trip Success!
Thank you so much to the parents who helped out during the bike trip, whether it was driving students, transferring bikes or riding the trails with the kids. We really appreciate all of you! We would not be able to make these trips happen without your help.
