K-3rd grade students visited the Country Lollipop Factory and went fishing with the CPW at Turks Pond. What a fun last day of school!

Thank you to the Country Lollipops for being a continuous partner and supporter of our school district. We feel your love! Yesterday students toured the factory and came home with yummy treats.

Yesterday the 4th and 5th grade celebrated the school year and AR reading goals with a trip to Wonderland in Amarillo.

JH/HS students who met their AR reading goals this year are enjoying a day at Elitch's Park. Way to go students!

Elementary students celebrated becoming published authors with a literary carnival party! They shared their pages from the book and were awarded authors of the year awards!

This Thursday, our amazing students will be spreading kindness and lending a helping hand in the community. We encourage students in wearing work clothing, closed-toe shoes, hats, and sunscreen as we embark on this meaningful journey. Here's what's on the agenda for our Pay It Forward activities: ⭐ Community Cleanup: We'll be rolling up our sleeves and tidying up local parks and streets to keep our community clean and beautiful. ⭐ Volunteer Work: Our students will be volunteering to help community members' with projects, supporting their missions and making a positive impact right where it's needed most. We're excited to see the positive impact our students will make, and we invite you to join us in spreading kindness wherever you are. #PayItForward #SpreadKindness #CommunityService

We're looking forward to great weather and fun this Friday at the Elementary Track and Field Day. We will not have a concession stand this year due to scheduling conflict with a HS track meet. The cafeteria will serve breakfast and lunch as usual.
