Mr. Holmes says, “The Science Club hike seemed to go well. About six colorful miles in the Current River hills. Everyone seemed to have had a fun, safe day. I wish you could have heard their excitement and energy and good spirits through the day! We had 25 students, plus 3 sponsors. The exercise, fellowship, and digital detox does these kids a lot of good!”

Dear Parents/Guardians, The 2020-2021 School Year our school district has been granted with free breakfast and lunches for all students regardless of income. As a reminder, a milk is provided with each breakfast and lunch and is included in the cost of the initial price. If your student requests an extra milk at lunch time or gets a milk at snack time ( kindergarten-2nd grade) it will be an additional $0.30 charge. This charge is not covered by the school and will be billed to each student's account. There are many students requesting these extras on a daily basis. Please discuss this with your students and let them know what you allow. You can pay these accounts in the elementary office or online on your Lumen account with a valid debit/credit card.

Today Mr. Colton Lewis taught kindergarten students what it’s like to be a mechanic, local business partner, and community volunteer. Mr. Lewis gave each kindergartener a Hot Wheels car!! Thank you Mr. Lewis!!
