Want to be #1 in the car line without leaving your house at noon?

Stop by the PTO tent tonight at the Community Pep Rally tonight and play a little trivia for a chance at the FIRST car line spot for the first half of the school year!

📣 Community Pep Rally starts at 7:00 PM, come out, show your Rebel spirit, and stop by to see us!

We’ll raffle the spot again in December for the second half of the year. ❤️🚗🖤

Thank you to everyone who donated snacks and drinks to our Faculty Fuel Station at Open House! We appreciate your generosity and know our teachers will too.

If you'd still like to contribute, it's not too late! You can send items to school or drop them off at the front office, and we'll make sure our amazing teachers and staff get to enjoy them. Thank you for your support! ❤️🍎

Huge thank you to all of the amazing local businesses that donated prizes for our PTO Prize Patrol! Because of your generosity, we were able to spend the day surprising our teachers and staff with fun giveaways.

We are so grateful for businesses that continue to support our school, our teachers, and our students. Please help us thank them by supporting the businesses that support our community. Small towns show up for each other, and last week was such a great reminder of that. ❤️🖤

📼Teacher Appreciation Week…90s style📼

Our teachers have been all that and a bag of chips this year, showing up for our kids day in and day out.
This week, it’s our turn to give them their moment in the spotlight and good news: it doesn’t have to be big or over-the-top.

Check out the graphic below for easy ways your child can make their teacher’s day!

💌 A quick note (short, sweet, & from the heart)
🌸 A small surprise
🗣️ A genuine “thank you”

Let’s make it a week our teachers will always remember because they’ve definitely made a difference for our kids.

We’re looking for parent volunteers to step in and watch students during lunch so our teachers can relax, eat, and enjoy a well-deserved break.

Even giving a little of your time makes a big difference. Let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the real MVPs of our schools, our amazing secretaries and bookkeeper!

They answer a million questions a day, keep everything running behind the scenes, and somehow still manage to smile through it all.

From wrangling paperwork and phone calls to keeping us all in line (yes, parents and PTO included), we truly don’t know what we’d do without them.

If you’ve ever needed a form, forgotten something, shown up confused, or just needed saving, they’ve been there.

Today we celebrate the ones who keep the chaos organized! We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️🖤
