We’re excited to see everyone this evening for the Drive-In Movie hosted by our 8th-grade class!
Feel free to bring chairs and blankets — there will be space near the screen for those who would like to sit outside their vehicles. When looking at the school from Highway H, the movie will be shown behind the school on the right side in the field. Staff and students will be on-site to direct traffic and help everyone find a parking spot.

Ms. Conaway’s 2nd graders put their detective skills to the test to identify the beginning, middle, and end of her personal narrative. It took a few tries, but with teamwork and determination, they figured it out!

They participated in hands-on activities and discussions, which helped them to gain valuable insights into how farmers care for the land and why protecting our natural resources matters.👩🌾🧑🌾
