On Monday, our Middle School choir students took a trip to Monticello to participate in a conference choir event. They had a great time and made some great music to share with other students from around the area. We are very proud of our singers!
On Monday, November 11th, the Civics class was proud to support our local Veterans with our annual Veterans Day Assembly. This year we had the privilege of recognizing 36 veterans from in and around our community. The elementary students did a wonderful job on the coloring contest, and they also helped lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Our middle school students wrote very thoughtful thank you letters to our local veterans as well. This year we introduced something new and were able to award a local veteran, Ray Laughridge, with an Honor Quilt made by a group of local volunteers. It was a very special moment for Ray and community. Thank you to those in the community that were also able to attend and celebrate our Veterans. There were also great performances from the band and choir. If you missed the livestream, you can still catch it on the school's YouTube channel. We also have a link to photos on the school’s social media pages. Thank you to all of our veterans! It was an honor to recognize you!
