This year is just flying by…. I can’t believe it’s December already!
I hope everyone is able to find time to relax and enjoy the holidays with your family and friends!
Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who attended the November 13th evening meeting. Students from Peer Educators and SADD gave presentations on their respective groups and how they are communicating the message of making good decisions, not only to their peers at the High School, but to the students at the Middle School as well. Our guest speaker, Mr. Steingruebner, High School Principal, provided an informative presentation on Vaping. Please watch for Minutes/Notes from the meeting.
