This will also be the day we are doing the fall festival and finishing our Red Ribbon Week Celebration. Lot's happening at our school. Stay tuned for more announcements.
We are excited to announce we are going to be doing a mini fall festival for our students on Friday, October 27. You can help us by donating candy for the booths.
