School is more than just learning in the classroom—it’s where students grow, thrive, and have access to important resources that support their success.
✅ Nutritious meals fuel bodies and minds
✅ Counseling services support emotional wellbeing
✅ Special education services are tailored to individual needs
Attendance matters because these essential services are available to every student, every day. Let’s work together to ensure our students are present and ready to learn! 🚀

Mrs. Hanson’s 8th grade ELA classes know how to bring literature to life! 📚
After reading the graphic novel version of “Frankenstein,” the students reached the big moment when Victor Frankenstein weds his beloved Elizabeth. To celebrate, they held a wedding ceremony complete with vows, ring exchanges (ring pops for all!), refreshments, a bouquet toss, and even dancing—because what’s a wedding without the Chicken Dance? 🎶
It was such a fun and creative way to connect with the story and make the characters feel real!
