A message from the principal
School Specialty Night
Wow! What an amazing turnout for our School Specialty Night.
The evening was filled with lively DJ music, delicious food, beautiful plants and plenty of fun and engaging family activities. We even had snakes visit us in our Nature Center!! I can't believe the beautiful baskets our students and Master Gardeners created and all of the plants that filled our greenhouse! So incredible. It was so fun to be together as a school community, and the great weather made the event even more enjoyable.
Thank you to all who were able to make it out to celebrate our Environmental Science and Math Specialty with us! And thank you so much to the staff, parents and youth volunteers who made this event possible!

Track & Field QR Code
Please use this QR code to access Track & Field schedules and other information. We will have this posted at our event as well.
Yearbooks
Yearbooks are available in the office on a first-come first-served basis. They are $7.00 cash or check, and are for sale each morning between 9:10-9:25.
Also, it has been brought to my attention that some families received a link earlier this year to purchase a yearbook through Lifetouch. We did not have a contract with Lifetouch this year, so if you believe you paid for a yearbook through them, please contact them directly to resolve. Yearbooks are only available through direct purchase from school each morning until inventory is gone.
