Good afternoon,
I hope you had a great weekend!! I do have a positive update to share with you regarding 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!
Best,
Kristin
Updates:
1st/2nd Grade Spring Performance:
We are excited to put on our first performance together! This year, Grades 1-2 will be presenting a fun, musical program titled “HATS!” Grab your hat! It’s time to party! Hats of all shapes and sizes take over the stage when a group of milliners help Hatless Hank find the perfect hat. Discover that it’s not the hat that makes a person special, but what’s underneath! They will perform on April 24th and 25th at 9:00am in the middle school gym. Parents and guests are invited to attend either or both performances.
