🌟 Golden Ticket Winners! 🌟
These superstars went above and beyond for their substitute teacher! They were kind, respectful, and followed all the rules like champs! As a reward, they got to eat their lunch with the principal — how cool is that?!We’re so proud of our amazing students!



Our 4th graders had a great time at the Fall Back on Safety event hosted by Pathways to a Healthier You!
🍁 They learned so much — from hunting and gun safety, animal safety, and microwave/cooking safety to internet safety, basic first aid, sleepover safety, bullying prevention, vaping awareness, mental health, backpack safety and posture, and even Halloween safety! 🎃 What an awesome day of learning how to stay safe in every way! 💪✨










Please mark your calendars!
We invite you to join us for our Annual Thanksgiving Meal. Each family may bring up to three guests, and the cost is $5.25 per guest.
More details will be shared soon. We look forward to celebrating this special tradition with you!
