Friendly Reminder:
Monday is Field Day for K-6th graders!! We want the kiddos to have as much fun as possible while also getting great exercise! Please remember to have your children prepared for all the heat and activities with sunblock, water bottles, and good rest. The children will need to be well hydrated PRIOR to field day and the best source for hydration is water!! The number one reason children come to my office during field day is dehydration symptoms. We don't want anyone to miss out on all the fun, so lets make it a great day! :)Nurse Shara
Fourth grade celebrated the end of testing with Sonic slushes. They have worked extremely hard the last few weeks!
