Just a quick reminder that we still have some spots open to help our with our high school scholars bowl meet upcoming on Dec. 1st!! Timers and scorekeepers wanted!!! Please let Mr. Hall know.

Super shout out to the district staff for jumping in and covering each other to keep our district face to face. We continue to be in yellow but our staff's willingness to take on the extra work has kept us in the building. We are fighting hard but need your continue support as a community in mask wearing, social distancing, and avoiding gatherings of students. Most of our positives have come from students or adults gathering. We plan to be in the building on Monday, Nov. 16th unless something over the next few days would put us in red. A huge thank you to those working hard in the community to help us remain in our building learning. Our staff appreciates your efforts. Have a great weekend!

Congratulations to Senior High School Volleyball player Kenzie Nellis on being named NEKL Honorable Mention!!
