I am thrilled to announce that our 2024 Sinking Fund passed!!! Thank you to everyone that helped spread the word and all of our community members that voted.
We have several remaining projects with the 2019-2024 funds this year (Middle School AC unit by spring break, Townsend windows by spring break, paving all lots and drives in June). We are excited to be able to begin planning much needed improvement projects with our 2025-2029 Sinking Fund. Again, thank you all!!
Proud to be a Jayhawk!
Respectfully,
Melissa Bradfield
Interim Superintendent

The students in Ms Simpson's 1st/2nd grade class had a great Halloween! Thank you to our parents for providing goodies for our party!
We are excited that the "cozy holidays" are here!
Today, we LOVED using specialty dice (die-in-die) to add and make predictions about which numbers we would roll.
