Our maintenance and custodial crew has been removing snow and ice on campus, and today our bus drivers drove their routes to see which families they are unable to reach by bus. Many of our families on county roads are not able to make it to snow route locations. We will need another day of warm air to melt more snow and ice on our county roads. *No school Tuesday, February 8.*
Town roads are in excellent shape, but many of our county roads are not ready for buses. We will have our 9th snow day Monday, February 7. (We have built 10 snow days into our calendar.)
It’s a busy week for our basketball teams as there are games every night. Both boys and girls teams are on the road twice with makeup games at home on Wednesday.

The JV girls move to 10-1 on the season and avenge their only loss of the season after defeating St. James tonight 33-29.
