Mandatory Cross Country practice begins tomorrow after school until 4:15. If you do not have a physical, you will not be able to participate. If you do not attend practice this week and next Monday & Tuesday, you will not be allowed to attend the meet at Winona on the 30th.
There was a little confusion about cross country shirts, so I want to clarify. All shirts for 4th-12th grade cross country runners will be paid for by the elementary cross country fundraiser we had. Anyone else that would like a shirt will have to pay the $10, or $12 depending on size. If you do not have your order and money to the school by 3:00 tomorrow, you will not be able to get a shirt. Thank you 😊 and sorry for any confusion.
The first Cross Country meet is August 30th, at Peck Ranch, in Winona. Students in grades 1st-3rd are allowed to run. This would be excused, but parents are responsible for signing their kids out and driving them to the meet. If your child wants to participate, you will need to let the school know by August 22nd. If you would like a shirt for yourself or child, you must get your sizes and money turned in to Mr. Meloy or Mrs. LaPlant by the end of the day, Tuesday, August 22nd. The shirt will be $10 for up to extra large and an extra $2 above that.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Penny war we had was a huge success. We were able to make enough money to:
Donate money for building materials for a new bridge on our playground, give a senior a scholarship, give elementary teachers a small donation for their classrooms, and put money into an account that will be used to help families in need. I am so grateful for all the donations and hard work that went into this fundraiser.
Because it went so well this past spring, we will be doing another one this next spring. Start saving your change now! Change does not have to be rolled, but it makes life much easier. 😁 Remember, pennies and cash helps your grade, but silver can be used to sabotage another grade. Thank you all!
STARTS TODAY!
Summer School 2023, 8 am - 2 pm.
Please keep your eyes out for our students and buses as we begin Week 1 of summer school today.
5th Grade students graduated the DARE program today! They've been learning about drug awareness and how to cope with peer pressure among many other things over the past 6 weeks from their instructor, Mr. Jeff McCarty. Before they received their certificates of completion of the program, several 5th graders stood up before the rest of the elementary students to share posters they made about the most important things they learned through this course.
