Students in sixth grade are preparing for middle school and practicing to open locks for their lockers!
Note from Dr. Sheers
Rain or shine, Mighty Mustang Blue and White night is tonight from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. In
the event of rain this evening, all activities
will be moved inside. If the weather permits we will be outside so please bring
chairs and blankets to sit on as table seating will be limited during this
event. The main parking lot will be open for parking; however the portion of
the lot immediately adjacent to the front of the building will be closed to facilitate access to the food trucks. This will
create a dead end so please use caution and courtesy when driving in the lot. We look forward to seeing everyone!
Finally, as we enter the last few weeks of school, we would love additional
donations of coffee K-cups and small individually wrapped chocolates for our
staff. Our office candy bowl and Keurig is visited frequently and by
many!
