March 3 Announcements

In an effort to keep our students healthy and our school free from germs, we are in need of hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray, disinfectant wipes, as well as, facial tissues.  These items may be dropped off at the front office.  We appreciate your help!

We are gearing up for March Madness in the library.  Do you want to choose the best book in the library and possibly win candy, media money, or a gift card to Amazon, Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, etc? Join us for March Madness as we vote to see which book will win!  See your ELA teacher, Mrs. Collins, or Mrs. Howton for the code to join in on the fun!
