We have one student who has completed 36.5 miles earning a 35 mile award. Three more students have completed 25+ miles earning a 25 mile award and a T-shirt. Several students are right behind them.

Ellie is passionate and is an advocate for her students, consistently pushing them towards achieving their highest potential. Her ability to maintain high expectations, along with her nurturing approach, ensures that every child in her room is empowered to succeed.

Heather Queen
Heather plays a crucial role in our nutrition staff, showing dedication and hard work every single day.

Her ability to consistently exceed expectations and her dedication to student nutrition is truly inspiring.

Her willingness to always lend a helping hand to both staff and students alike exemplifies her commitment to our school's success. With many years of experience under her belt, Cindy's knowledge in education is an invaluable asset to our building. We are deeply appreciative of her efforts and are proud to recognize her incredible impact this week.
Safety
Morning Lower Lot Drop Off
If you are dropping off students in the lower parking lot in the morning, please have students quickly exit the car and then continue driving through the lane. We are having cars sitting in the drop off lane which is creating a backup of cars. As a result, students are being dropped off in the travel lane which creates a safety concern and is resulting in more traffic congestion.
Thank you for your help keeping students safe.
