Mrs. Effinger's class has been busy learning their math facts and working on their Magical Yets! #futureworldchangers




Mrs. Sennett's class worked together yesterday to "save Fred." Today they said nice words & compliments to one apple & mean, hurtful words to the other. They discussed how even if we look fine on the outside, our insides are bruised & crushed because of ugliness. (She bruised the apple way ahead of time.) Their faces were priceless!




HS Baseball Game today has been moved to 4:30pm. Go Warriors!
Softball Game Changes:

Sophomores and Coach Pitts won the challenges at the 1st Daynof School Pep Assembly. Sophomores currently hold the spirit stick!




We are full steam ahead on a great start to the school year! 1st grade got rid of their first day jitters with "Jitter Juice."
