We have a recycling bin for hay wrap and twine located north of the old gym, by the old softball field. We appreciate your help in participating in this project to keep pastures clean, protect wildlife and save on costly equipment repairs! We also have the opportunity of winning a cash prize for our school if we collect the largest weight amount!
It's that time of year when our students need to wear their coats to school to stay warm when traveling outdoors. We want to make sure your child always has their coat. Please write their name inside their coat to help us make sure it gets returned to them when it shows up in our lost and found collection. Without a name, it is hard for us to find the owner. We appreciate your help in making sure your child stays warm during this wintry season.
