October 31-November 4, 2016
Friday afternoon our 6th graders had a spook-tacular time at their first dance! There was lots of laughter, dancing, and eating. Our Student Council did an outstanding job decorating and ensuring the kids had a great time. A new addition to our dances this year is a photo booth. The kids (and adults!) were decked out in props and smiled for the camera! 7th grade dance will be on February 10th and 8th grade will be on May 5th.
Our football and volleyball seasons come to an end this week. Our coaches spend countless hours working with our students to ensure their ready for game day. However, I believe they teach them so much more than athletics! We appreciate all the parental support during the season as well. If your child is interested in trying out for basketball, they need to see their coach.
This grading period comes to an end on November 11th. It's a great time to go through their backpack and inventory their school supplies and clean out any unnecessary papers that might be in there.
