The hardworking kiddos who give their best every day.
The dedication of our students and their impressive growth.
Our incredible support staff, who ensure we have delicious food and a clean, welcoming environment.
Having a job close to home, doing what I love.
The understanding and support of our new elementary principal, especially in the library.
A positive and smooth experience in the elementary Library, with minimal behavior challenges.
My wonderful colleagues who are flexible and always willing to lend a hand.
The smiles of our students as they walk through the halls each day.
Our students’ parents, who are so supportive of their children’s learning and achievements.

Our seniors were dressed festive today for the movie with their little buddies and for our Christmas party. They won the best dressed class for the High School Christmas dress-up contest. Some of the seniors even matched with each other, and one group matched with their little buddy! Way to go, Seniors!



The 4th and 8th grade students had a fun time making some Christmas crafts for their Comet Connections!








1st graders got their class Bingo and chose to watch a Christmas movie with their Senior Buddies. Today, we are watching two Christmas classics (Frosty the Snowman & A Charlie Brown Christmas) in the gym drive-in movie style.

Sophomores and 2nd graders made snowmen for their comet connections today!
