Stride Practice Starts Monday!!

The Spilman boys spent their OWN money to buy food for the High School FFA food drive. The FFA had the boys over to the high school to give them a tour of their total collections and to say thank you for their special effort.

From March 1st to March 31st, we will be collecting various school supplies for our student teachers working in our building this year. The items are grade-specific, and we kindly ask each grade level to help with the following:
Pre-K & Kindergarten: Pencils and/or pens
1st Grade: Crayons and/or colored pencils
2nd Grade: Notebooks and/or packs of paper
3rd Grade: Sticky notes and/or folders
4th Grade: Expo markers and/or pencil erasers
5th Grade: Scissors and/or glue
In addition to the grade-specific items, we are also encouraging donations of children's books across various reading levels from all grades.
Please send your donated items with your child, or drop them off in the office. The donated items will then be put outside of the classroom in the morning, and the Student Council will come around to collect them.
Thank you for helping our Student Teachers get their careers started!!


Just a reminder to show some love this week ;)
