Administration has made a decision to cancel the Afterschool Program for today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) due to the snowy weather and extreme low temperatures. It is always important to us to keep all students and staff safe. Please have other arrangements for your children on these dates for after school. Thank you! Keep safe and warm!!
The 5th Grade students played a game of "Regalos" today. They were placed in groups of 4 and had to wrap one person from the group as best and creative as they could. They were delivered to Mrs. Prochazka, Mrs. Albright, and Mrs. Clarke.
To get into the Holiday Spirit the Afterschool program made some chocolate covered pretzels! 🥨 🎄
