Student Spotlight

Some of our students were able to attend the Sheriff's Rodeo last month. Students had a great time!

Mrs. M. Guthrie's 6th grade history class has been studying the Roaring 20's! Students dressed up and presented to their classmates. They did a wonderful job!

Guidance Counselor Announcement

Mrs. Campbell would like for parents to know there are 2 simple activities for the counseling program that involve the parents. Simply ask your child for the business card paper/form so you can sign it and send it back. Or you can email me the following statement.

1 - I talked to my child (Include student name and grade) about the dangers of drugs. (this activity was in Oct during Red Ribbon Week and we are working hard to get 100% participation).

2- In February, a Dream Big letter will be sent home. Just sign it and have the student return.

Community Resources:

Please know that we have a wide range of community resources.

The School Counselor would be glad to give any family in need these resources. Contact Mrs. Campbell (School Counselor) if you would like a list of resources for a specific need.
