Our 8th grade students recently completed a meaningful service project for the Monroe County Boys & Girls Club summer programs! Students decorated and filled bags with snacks to help support local children this summer.

This project was led by Ada Johnson and Coltin Simpson, whose leadership and hard work helped make the event a success. We are proud of our students for giving back to the community and showing kindness through service! ☀️

It’s Tuesday… the LAST WEEK of school… and honestly, we’re all just trying to figure out what to do next 😅🎣

This 8th grader perfectly captured the feeling of realizing summer break is almost here but there are still a few assignments left to turn in ☀️📚

🏃‍♂️☀️ FIELD DAY IS THIS THURSDAY! ☀️🏃‍♀️

Get ready for games, laughter, teamwork, and fun! Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, and bring your school spirit. Don’t forget your water bottle and sunscreen!

We can’t wait to see everyone competing, cheering, and making great memories together. Let the games begin! 🎉🏅

Happy Speech-Language Pathologist Day to the amazing Mrs. Whitley! Our students and staff are so fortunate to have her expertise, compassionate heart, and incredible skills supporting our kiddos every day. She truly is the BEST!
