Fourth Grade Parents, We are excited to host our Rendezvous event tomorrow for our fourth-grade students! What is a Rendezvous? During the Oregon Trail era, a Rendezvous was a gathering where fur trappers and traders exchanged goods, shared stories, and celebrated community. We're excited for your student to join in the fun! Students will also participate in a Foofaraw, where they can bring an item from home to trade. This item can be something they no longer need—encouraging creativity and community spirit. Important Details: • Date: Tomorrow Morning • What to Bring: One item from home to trade (not a purchased item).

Hello everyone! Mrs. Anderson here. I would like to thank our amazing teachers, staff, and students for the outpouring of love and support they have shown me! I had no idea it was Principal’s Day and suddenly I am inundated with cards, gifts and plants. What I enjoyed most were not the gifts but, rather the hugs and comments from everyone. I absolutely love our school. Especially the students and staff that make it such a wonderful, positive place to be! Thank you everyone!
