We will see everyone back on January 5th! Have a safe and happy holiday!
A NOTE FROM MRS. COFFMAN
We have had a wonderful first part of our year! We attribute that to our wonderful support at home, dedicated teachers, and eager learners! We missed the students so much last spring and have been so excited to see them each day in our classrooms! The students are happy to be at school, and we are happy to see them each day! We have had an excellent first semester filled with joy, learning, and significant achievement towards educational goals for all students!
The elementary Christmas Program for Pre-K was precious. The children worked very hard with Mrs. Estrada and Mrs. Autry and did a wonderful job! The Holiday Musical, Flakes performed by grades K-4 was fabulous! The students worked very hard on the production and did a great job! Thank you to Mrs. Autry and all those who helped to make it such a success!
We have many eager readers this year! I love announcing the students who are working hard to meet their reading goals! Our fifth-grade students are doing an excellent job running our AR store, Broncoville. We love seeing the students work hard towards their goals and enjoy their rewards!
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Many blessings to you and your family as we bring in a new and prosperous year!

I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!
