A few of our students and Miss Borgmeyer spent a few hours spreading Christmas cheer for the residents at the local nursing home today. They hung Christmas lights on the outside of the building and enjoyed hot chocolate afterwards. We hope this brings the residents and the community much joy this season! 💚🤍❤️

We are pleased to welcome Master Sergeant Darrin Haslag from the Missouri Highway Patrol with the Division of Drug and Crime Control to our campus for the next two days. He will share information concerning internet safety for a variety of users. During our day of professional learning, he will work with our junior high and high school staff to help them learn more about what our students might be encountering online. Tomorrow evening at 6:00 p.m. you as parents are invited to visit our school to hear him share information concerning how to keep your children safe from online concerns. He will return to campus on Tuesday to share a similar message with our students.

We are excited for today and wanted to send one more reminder about details for today, as well as to share that we are NOT able to steam the game today. We are trying to keep up with deleting all of the messages that share links claiming to stream the game, but there are many and we are busy with other details for today. Please do not share information with those links as they are not affiliated with us as a district and we do not believe are steaming our students' game today!
