Do you want to make a difference? If so, now is the time! Our schools are stronger with family and community support. Dr. Barnes has been working diligently to help inform the public about what is going on with potential taxes, legislation, and the new funding formula. We encourage you to get involved to better understand this issue! Consider attending this educational session on Tuesday, January 27th!

We are so excited to see everyone tonight!🎶

The Biology class brought the learning standards on gene expression to life by extending their study of DNA transcription and RNA translation through an engaging protein synthesis cookie lab. After the lab, the students got to enjoy their genetically coded Christmas cookies!



Don't forget about Small Mall tomorrow! 🎁

Elementary students worked in groups to create table decorations for their upcoming Christmas lunch. Snowmen, reindeer, gingerbread houses, and lots of Christmas trees were made this week in counseling class time. Students did a great job communicating and helping each other!







7th Grade finished their career unit during counseling time. Students worked in groups to create a business, develop interview questions, and conduct an interview of their peers. Students practiced handshakes, eye contact, and speaking clearly.
