From The Principal
We hope you enjoyed your short week and snowy weekend! We really appreciated the opportunity to connect with students and families last week during Conferences. These are such meaningful conversations to both celebrate student achievement and partner on next steps!
Also congratulations to our Robotics Team for recently earning 2nd place at their competition in Tulsa! We are excited to cheer them on this week in their next events.
Have a wonderful last week of school before spring break.

Congratulations Knowledge Bowl!
Our students placed 32nd out of a field of 60 teams at the state championship. With over 200 teams in the state, that puts our kids in the top 17% of all teams. Truly a remarkable feat! It was rewarding to see the hard work they put in (the last month they really hit the gas and created mini-lectures on all sorts of topics) and to see the knowledge they have gained in all of your classrooms come alive in the spirit of competition!
