Our staff is truly the best! We’d thought it’d be great to share with our community how amazing our staff is. On Meet the Staff Mondays, we will highlight 3-4 staff members each week and tell you a little more about what makes them so PAWsome!

TES Reminder: Tomorrow, June 15th, is our last day of school with an early release for students at 12:25pm. Have a great summer!


I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Nicholas Gray and Green Friends, Inc.! They did a cleanout around the school grounds and retrieved 2 shopping carts and 6 bags of debris from the trails and area behind the school.
They had an unexpected helper as well! There was a momma Snapping Turtle laying her eggs in the playground mulch. Don't worry, they called the Audubon Society about this and they explained that we should leave the eggs be, so hopefully they will stay undisturbed until the fall.
