The 5th grade classes spent the month of December completing over 20 tasks for teachers and staff around the elementary as a way to give back this holiday season. Well Done 5th graders!
a HUGE thank you to: Exchange State Bank, Landmands Bank, & FNIC Insurance for sponsoring our holiday movie this year. arthur Christmas was a huge hit for these Spartans!

Elementary families, we need your help! Please send students with appropriate clothing to school. The attached picture shows our policy on recess clothing according to the weather. We also require students to have pants on if it is 54 degrees or colder. Boots are required if it is below 20 degrees, and gloves and hats when it is below 32 degrees. A significant number of students have been coming to school with no hat or gloves. Our supply at the school has dwindled down to very few in the last few weeks. If your child has brought home a hat or gloves that they borrowed from the school, please send them back to the school.
MS/HS Dress Up Days:
