Principal's Message
I would like to begin by thanking all of our students again for their participation in our Haiti relief fundraiser. Our goal was to collect $2,000.00, and we smashed that mark by collecting well over that amount. That money is being used to purchase two shelter boxes that contain 10-person tents, sleeping bags, blankets, water purification tablets ... more

Did you know that more than $400 billion in federal funding is awarded to communities each year based on their census data? The information the census collects helps determine funding for infrastructure, schools, hospitals, senior centers, and more. Households across our community will soon be receiving a 2010 Census questionnaire. Please be sure to fill out your form and return it as soon as possible. census info
