The change in drop off time (from 9:05 to 9:00) has been terrific, students are in classrooms and lovin' it. Thank you for your support.

Out of the mouths of babes.....

Mr. M was in the cafe and asked, "How is the pizza?"

"Very good" the first student replied

"I don't eat pizza" shared another student
Why?" asked Mr. M

"I am lactose intolerant" the student answered

"What's that?" asked the first student

A third student chimed in "I'm not sure but I think it has to do with his feet" (Lack-Toes)
