This week we would like to shine the Warrior Spotlight on Mr. Dixon. He has worked hard to help his team. They appreciate all of the ideas he has shared and enjoy collaborating with him. Mr. Dixon will be taking the lead for our National Honor Society and is always looking for ways to make learning fun and challenging. Thank you Mr. Dixon!

When teachers are out we depend on others to help fill that role and it is no easy task! We are grateful for the substitute teachers that are always dependable and willing to help when needed.
