Due to traffic on I-94 coming back from an elementary field trip, Kathy's bus (#22) and Elizabeth's bus (#44) will not be on time at the MS/HS for dismissal. At this time they are 20 minutes away; therefore, you may pick up your student if able to. Student's on these two buses may be very late today. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Congratulations and Good Luck to Dallas Swaenepoel! Regional Champion and State Qualifer in Pole Vault! We are so proud of you!
Don't forget if you are able to make it out to support Dallas tickets must be purchased on GoFan. Link: https://gofan.co/event/3592336?schoolId=MHSAA

Happy birthday 🎈🎂🎈










The school year is winding down, & Ms Simpson's 1st & 2nd grade students are enjoying each day by celebrating with an ABC countdown.
Today was "O for Orange" Day. We wore orange, read "The Orange Splot", and had a few warm-up pages that celebrated "orange".
Yesterday, they got to choose a new name for "N for Name" day. They loved writing letters to friends & loved ones (and learning about the parts of a letter) on "L" day. We have also enjoyed (I) ice cream, learned a new "E"xercise (Tae Bo kids), and wore (H) hats to school!
What a great memory, and a great group of kids!
