In my recent October newsletter for parents/guardians, I noted that Volleyball Senior Night is on Thursday, October 16th. That is incorrect! Senior Night for our Volleyball girls is this coming Monday, October 6th.
I apologize for any confusion!

Congratulations to our September Students of the Month for the Jr High and High School, Harrison Warren and Cayden Brock! About Harrison, his teachers shared: Harrison deserves recognition for the incredible transformation he's made this year. He comes to class engaged and ready to learn. He's been working hard and asking questions. He's also friendly and respectful with everyone. His positive attitude and smile brighten our classroom. About Cayden, his teachers shared: 1) Cayden is really trying to stay on top of his work this year so far, and on top of that he helps those around him when he sees they are struggling. He also shares his kindness and is a very giving person! 2) Cayden is a bright spot in everyone's day. He seems to take on every day with joy 3) Cayden sees anger and frustration and meets it with uninhibited kindness & patience. I've had many wonderful students, but Cayden is the student who most personifies good. The kind of good that I think could save the world. Cayden is “Cayden”, the best of us, and the type of person whom we need more of. Cayden is my goal for myself, what I'm striving to become. Clearly, we are extremely proud of these two well-deserving students!
