If you had a picture of your pet displayed on one of the boards — don’t worry! 🐶🐱🐰 We safely saved them just for you. 💛

There will be a baseball player meeting open to all 8th graders interested in playing high school baseball this Sunday February 15th at 1:30pm prior to the open gym in the high school cafeteria.
Since teachers are nominating students for being academic aces, students are now getting a chance to nominate teachers for the week. When we announce our academic aces, we will also announce a teacher winner too. Those teachers will be able to pick a prize from the bucket and get to park in Mrs. Truelsen's parking spot everyday for the following week. Students the link for this will be in announcements and forms need to be submitted by 3:20 pm on Thursdays for those teachers names to be put in the drawing.
Thank you and reach out to Mrs. Flake with any questions.

No Choir Lessons today!
Mrs. Payne in the office had a great idea and iJAG is going to make it happen. Since teachers are nominating students for being academic aces, students are now getting a chance to nominate teachers for the week. When we announce our academic aces, we will also announce a teacher winner too. Those teachers will be able to pick a prize from the bucket and get to park in Mrs. Truelsen's parking spot everyday for the following week. Students the link for this will be in announcements and forms need to be submitted by 3:20 pm on Thursdays for those teachers names to be put in the drawing.
