You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. - Jer. 29:13

Johnny Appleseed Day

Lower Elementary will celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday, September 29.

They may also bring a pot or raccoon tail, as well as, 1 apple, or apple themed snack for snack time. We will have various Johnny Appleseed themed activities for students to participate in.

Fall Book Fair

Our Fall Book Fair has officially closed. If your student still has a balance on E-Wallet, you can spend those funds by purchasing books from the Scholastic website or keep the funds on E-Wallet until the spring fair.

A big THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who helped the Book Fair run smoothly through last week and Grandparents' Day! We could not have been successful without you! THANK YOU, parents, for your patience as we worked through technical issues with E-Wallet and credit card transactions.

Fall Sports Picture Day

We will be taking pictures for fall sports teams on Monday, October 2. Middle school teams will wear their blue jerseys. High school teams will wear their white jerseys. JV Volleyball will take one picture that will include both teams. Order forms were passed out last week, but more can be found outside the coach's office. If you have questions, contact Coach Erhart.
