Attention Parents: This week is Teacher Appreciation week. Take the time to thank all those who spend their days teaching our nation's youth. We can not thank them enough for all they do each and every day. We have a week of events planned for all our staff. We hope they know how important they are and how lucky we are to have them in our warrior family. Remember "Teachers are Warriors"!

Attention Parents: With the threat of winter weather tomorrow, we have decided it is in the best interest of the safety of our students to call a snow day for tomorrow 3/11/22. We expect the weather will most likely hold off till the afternoon, but we did not want to get the students here and dismiss early. That causes more problems than just turning out for the day. This way we give everyone as much notice as possible so arrangements can be made. This will be a snow day and no virtual work will be assigned. So be safe and enjoy the extra day of spring break.

READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK Throughout the week, different guest readers started our students’ school day with a reading of a Dr. Seuss book. The book titles were each school day’s theme. Mon.- “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” Mark Williams, Principal Tues.- “I’m Not Getting Up Today!” Derek Woodral, Police Chief & School Board President Wed.- “Wacky Wednesday” Bruce Gillham, Superintendent Thurs.- “Oh, The Pets You Can Get!” Julie Bridges, Children’s Pastor & Educator Bonus Book- “Wonky Donkey” Amy Wisdom, Reading & Math Interventionist Fri.- “My Many Colored Days” The Mean One, Mr. Grinch THANK YOU! to all of our Speci
