On Tuesday, September 21, 2010, strong winds damaged the roof of the K-8 gymnasium, baseball dug-out, and fitness center.

Student & Family Planning Resources for Life After High School Graduation
As students progress through high school, the pressure builds to help them discover a path for success after high school graduation. Is college, a certificate or a skilled trade right for your student? What should students do when, and what can parents do to help them with those tasks? How does all this affect family finances? A new free service from Iowa Student LoanĀ® can help parents with all these questions and more (flyer attached to newsletter). http://www.sp3.org/
