This Week's Photo


Tech-savvy first graders are excited to learn how to use the school's 3D printer--very cool, Tr. Scott! Read more about all of our students' projects in the new edition of Tech Time below!
Thanks!

Many thanks to Andy and Irene Crichton for donating funds toward the "sod fund!" Their initial donation was augmented by the sale of mums at the Harvest Fair (which were donated by DiStefano Landscaping)! The seeds were planted on Saturday--think good thoughts for their health and growth.

In more grass news, members of the General Committee and Tr. Alice were out there on Monday giving our seedlings a good soak. Your efforts are much appreciated!
