We’ve had a few ask why our sign is dedicated to the class of 2020. Without that class, our new sign would not have been a possibility this year. The Class of 2020 raised over $8000 for their 8th grade trip that was taken away by the pandemic beginning in March of 2020. One of the allowable options for use of the money was to purchase something for the school. That class, who lost so much, ended up giving our school and community something that will help remember them for years to come. Our new sign is proudly dedicated to the class of 2020.

Gingerbread houses. Students took measurements during construction and calculated the total surface area of their gingerbread houses before sharing their projects with their class.
Ms. Wallace's I.E. class recently completed financial literacy projects where they chose a destination, researched its history, then planned a vacation based on their findings.
