Thank you to Kiwanis for BBQ-ing for our Honor Roll students on Thursday! Kiwanis partnered with Miller Hot Dogs and Cherokee Memorial Park to provided hotdogs, chips, cookies and water to our students. Our own Parent Club provided gift cards for our raffle. Plus a community member arranged a flyover during our 8th grade lunch to recognize our outstanding academic success!! Thank you to all for the fun afternoon!

All 7th grade students are going to be playing the Mesoamerican Ballgame on Friday, May 3rd. Students must wear their "jerseys" to school all day. If you have any questions, please contact your child's Social Science teacher.
