As soon as we know more, we will make a plan to get those photos to families. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please email mhuffstetler@lexington1.net with any questions.

You can drive into the student drop off area and pick up your meals. The parent/guardian can have the children in the car or, if they do not have the children, they will need to present some form of valid identification for each child.
Our theme for the school year is LEAD with PRIDE. We hope that this theme will inspire our students to have a feeling of self respect and satisfaction for the things that they will accomplish this year.
