As a reminder, there is no school on Monday, September 25th. 

Orchestra begins on Wednesday, September 27th after school in the band room.

The Kindness Craze Fundraiser is off to an amazing start!  This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community.  During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling -- and earn prizes too!
