In October, join us to STOMP Out Bullying & wear blue for #WorldBullyingPreventionMonth. More kindness and less judgment goes a long way! Show your kindness by wearing BLUE every Monday. It’s up to all of us to change the culture.

If you don’t get the shirt ordered, any blue shirt will work to show you STOMP out bullying on Mondays in October! #BlueUp

Tomorrow (on the first day of school) we will let families come in to the elementary school to take their traditional pictures if you’d like. Our school staff will not be doing those photos as we did last year, as we did them due to closed buildings to visitors due to COVID. Please do not leave your vehicle on the street in front of the school where buses drop off any time you plan to enter the school in the mornings. We are excited for our first day of an amazing new school year!
Mrs. Fuller and Dr. K. will be conducting school tours on Friday beginning at 4:00 pm as part of the all school reunion. If you’d like to see either building, please come to the main entrances during this time. Thank you.
