Just a reminder that Boys 7th grade Basketball tryouts will be Tuesday and Wednesday 3-5 at the Middle School gym.
6th graders began their promotion day with a fantastic parade followed by a picnic and were fed cake and pizza! They were also given a "Class of 2030" backpack tag as a keepsake! We are proud of their many accomplishments thus far!
The school went into a temporary lockdown with a malfunction of our RAVE System signaling an active shooter. The police responded within seconds and discovered it was a malfunction. All students and staff are safe and there was NO active shooter. We are in contact with the company that provides our system to explain and correct.
