Bulldog Shout-outs!!
Thank you to everyone who helped "hold down the fort" while Ms. Covington and I were both sick last week. We appreciate you handling discipline problems. Special thanks goes to Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Murphy, and Mrs. Banta for your work on SRT calls.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Banta for all of the wonderful extra-curricular activities that you make possible for our students after school. Many would not be able to participate in enrichment if it was not for you!
