As we continue through our winter season, remember that our morning recess is still usually cold enough that that coats, hats and mittens are still needed. Please make sure students have everything they need every day.
Our January students of the month: Josh, Adrian, & Ava! Congratulations!!
To the Spartan Fans in the Stands: Thank you for showing great Spartan Pride by cheering along with the cheerleaders at the games. It is wonderful to see so many involved adults in the crowd. Keep cheering for regional games next week!!
