Updates:
Speed Limit Change on Highway 57 North
After much back and forth with county commissioners and DOT personnel, they informed us that there will be a lower speed limit through this area that has been APPROVED and within a few weeks we should see new signs out there! Huge thank you to those families who advocated for this change!

Prom Mask Decorating
As some of you may know, this year's prom theme is Masquerade. On April 25th, during lunch, I'm hosting a mask making event for the students who are going to prom. I've created an Amazon wish list if you would like to contribute. Also, if you have craft supplies at home that you would like to share (lace, feathers, glitter paint, rhinestones, etc) you can bring them to the office anytime between now and Wednesday, April 24th. Here is the amazon wish list. Thank you! Also, any leftover supplies will be donated to the art and theater departments.
Teacher Appreciation Week
As Teacher Appreciation Week fast approaches. . . We need YOUR Help to remind our Staff they are "FIRST CLASS!" This year we will be treating our first class staff to something special each day the week of May 6-10th such as snacks, breakfast, lunch, sweet treats and more!
We would really appreciate your support in helping some of these fun activities happen for the teachers. Sign up to help here:

We will be taking collections until Friday May 4th and will put gifts together for delivery on Friday May 10th. This will be a school wide collection from families to purchase gift cards for all members of our staff (teachers, administrators, specialists, etc) We are so grateful for any generosity towards showing our staff how much they are appreciated (and making the shopping easier on you!)
**Cash can be sent in an envelope with Julie Forrest - TAW (teacher appreciation week) on the front and turned into the HS or K-8 office.
