Winter Wellness

The Ultimate Winter Wellness Guide: 

It’s not just you: There truly is something about the change of season that can get you out of sorts. The colder temps and fewer hours of daylight make it hard to stick to your usual workout routine and can put you in a funk. Check out this article on how to keep the season from dragging you down.  


Get your magnet!

All students who were on Honor Roll or Principal's Honor Roll will receive a magnet!  Please have your child stop down to get their magnet if they haven't already.
