Bus Announcement: Students that ride Jimmy's bus in Stacyville will be later due to a double bus run.
Weather Alert: Due to the weather, there will be a 2 hour delay this morning.
Reminder for Families: For the safety of all involved and to ensure everyone can enjoy our sporting events, all minors must be accompanied by an adult. This expectation helps maintain a safe environment, and families are responsible for supervising their children, including any injuries or damage to property. Event staff must focus on selling tickets and managing facilities, floors, and traffic, and are not able to supervise students during events. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Thank you to community member and school board representative Terri Hill for generously donating the supplies that allowed two of our outdoor English students to build a GaGa Pit for the elementary school! These students went above and beyond, coming in before class and staying after dismissal to complete the project. Great job, boys!
