It’s the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL — can we get a whoop whoop?! 🎉📚
K–6 wraps up on May 14 with a 2 PM dismissal.
Grades 7–12 & teachers are sprinting into summer on Friday, May 16 at 1:00 PM! 🏃♂️💨 #SchoolsOut #AlmostSummer

Our amazing freshmen and 1st graders have been exchanging letters as pen pals, spreading kindness, sharing laughs, and highlighting positive character strengths for months. From silly jokes to heartfelt messages, these connections have been truly special!
This week, they finally met face-to-face for a fun-filled play date! Watching them play, laugh, and bond was the perfect way to celebrate their unique friendships and wrap up the year on a high note.
Here’s to building connections, one letter (and one game of tag) at a time!

🛣️ If you are traveling from the north, there is some road construction that goes all the way into the of town on highway 57.

The following teachers were recognized this month for demonstrating the strengths of humor, fairness, and love of learning.
The student body voted, and it turns out it must be in the Social Studies Teacher Starter Pack to be absolutely hilarious. One student even wrote, and I quote, “They both have me peeing my pants from laughing!” Shout out to the two legends of laughter—Mr. Metzler and Mr. Kvidera.
Next, when we asked students who demonstrates the strength of love of learning best, the answer was overwhelming. Mrs. Tracy has a passion for English, a passion for learning, and a passion for sharing it with her students.
Finally, it made sense that the PE teacher, Mr. McCreary who has to enforce rules within games and competitions to keep things fair and fun, was selected for always showing fairness. #strengthfocused #staffspotlight
