Veterans' Day Program: We thank our amazing 5th graders for the wonderful program they put on for our Veterans. Thanks to all who helped our students prepare, who helped stage our building for the event, and who joined us for the program that morning. Since we were not able to have our evening program due to weather, our students have recorded an encore performance. Click here to see it now!

eLearning Day: Just a reminder that our next pre-schedule eLearning Day will occur on Wednesday, November 27.

We appreciate your sense of adventure as we create these opportunities for online learning and professional development.
