Future Warriors Take the Field! 🙌
This school year, our elementary and middle schools each launched brand new football programs — and the response has been amazing! Over 90 students from grades 3–6 participated in league play with other local schools.
Tonight, these young athletes were recognized at the school board meeting for their hard work, dedication, and team spirit. We’re so proud of our future Warriors!! ❤️🤍
It’s National School Bus Safety Week!
This week is a great reminder that keeping students safe on and around school buses is a community effort.
Why it matters:
Most bus-related injuries happen outside the bus, not on it.
Kids rely on drivers, parents, and the community to make safe choices at bus stops and on the road.
Safety isn’t just the school’s job—it’s all of us working together.
How we can help:
Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods
Stop when the bus stop-arm is out—no matter how late you’re running
Remind kids to stand back from the road and wait for the driver’s signal before crossing
Thank a bus driver—they carry our most precious passengers every day
Safe Stops = Stronger Communities ❤️🤍
