So Here It Is!

So here it is!  The weather makes it feel as if it couldn't possibly be true, but the 2018-2019 school year has officially come to an end.  It has most certainly been a good year for our students and staff. They have accomplished so much that makes us all proud. They have come to school each day, developed some great relationships, engaged in learning, participated in extracurricular events and many activities.   All in all, everyone is likely ready for some time to relax, refresh and regroup.

Even though we are on "break" there are many opportunities for your child and family to remain connected to the school and the community this summer.  Kids can participate in a wide range of summer camps this summer through the school district. There are athletic, academic, and general activity camps that provide a great avenue for kids to engage in safe activities in a supervised environment,  develop healthy habits, make friends, and generally just have a good time.  They can also eat breakfast and lunch for free at the JK-8 building. 

The District will also be serving meals at various locations June 3rd through August 2nd.  This is part of the Federal Nutrition Program that provides free meals for children ages 18 months to age 18. There is a small charge ($2.50 for Breakfast and $3.75 for Lunch) for adults age 19 and older.  It is good food, free for kids, and a good way to connect with others during the summer months.
