During the month of October, students and staff recognized Breast Cancer Awareness by wearing pink.


In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, we collected 50 cent donations for links. We raised over $1000 to donate to American Cancer Society. Our top classes are 1st place - Ms. K. Alston's Combination Class, 2nd place - Mrs. McElhinney's 1st Grade Class, and 3rd place - Ms. L. Russell's 2nd Grade Class. They were all treated with ice cream. Thanks to all you donated to a worthy cause.

Happy Veteran's Day to all who served. Special shout out to our own Veteran, Dr. Coffer, and all our parents who are veterans. We appreciate you.



Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed for Daylight Savings Time. Enjoy your extra hour of sleep.


Youth Basketball Registration is now open. See flyer for details.
