Students, don't let the winter blues affect your physical wellness and mind. Each month, December through March, we will be posting a monthly wellness challenge for students, along with a QR code and link to verify your participation. All students who participate will be placed into a drawing to win prizes in January, February, March and April. Prizes will be related to physical fun and announced later. Good luck and let's keep moving kids.
If you are seeing multiple of the same posts on school Facebook pages, we apologize as the system we are using was having both a lag yesterday and today in posting and duplicated some posts. We have worked with our app, and the problem should be resolved. We hope everyone is enjoying some extra time home with family this week.
Enjoying this snow day? Looking for something educational or fun to watch?

They will be providing presentations to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Your child will be given the opportunity to participate in this hour-long program.
