PICTURES AND REPORTS


WALMART DONATION 
Every other year the senior band takes a trip to a major city.  This year it will travel to Washington D.C. and it will take several hundred dollars per student to defray the costs of travel. This $2,500 check is a huge help towards making this trip possible for our students. The students shown in the pictures accepted the check last week on behalf of the school at Walmart and then gave it to band teacher Mehaffey on Monday 10-9-2017. Thank you.

OLDER KIDS SHARED A MEAL WITH YOUNGER KIDS
On Friday (10-6-2017) Team USA students went to the cafeteria at the kindergarten lunch time. The goal was to connect the two age groups and build a sense of community within the school. Both groups liked the mentoring experience.
