Today is a day of remembrance. Thank you to those who have served.

All fifth-grade students participated in a collective field trip to Nitro Zone, where they engaged in arcade games before proceeding to the football field for lunch and a scavenger hunt. We extend our gratitude to the PTOs of each elementary school for coordinating this enjoyable event.
