Here comes December
It's hard to believe, but tomorrow is the first of December. We have had a pretty impressive first third of the school year. Students know our expectations and procedures and, although they are middle schoolers, they abide by them nearly all of the time. Our school district report card puts us number five in the state. We cannot thank you enough for your efforts and support in making the first third of our school year so successful.

Community Giving Tree
“To give love is to have it returned to you.” That’s what it means to be part of the Community Caring tree. Holiday wishes or needs are noted on gift tags and placed on the tree located in front of the Intermediate School office. Those who wish to participate remove a tag, purchase the desired gift, wrap it and affix the tag to the package and then return the gift to the school. The gifts are then sorted and distributed to families in our community. The community giving tree is on display in the Intermediate School commons now. Wrapped gifts are due in the office by Friday, December 14th.
