Last week, our High School and Middle School students were encouraged to dress up for Halloween Spirit Week. Each day brought a new theme, and students went all out to show their creativity and Halloween pride. The days were as follows: Monday - Flannel Day, Tuesday - Pink Out, Wednesday - Pajama Day, Thursday - Assigned Halloween Color, Friday - Costume Day. Spirit Week is important because it is something fun the whole school can participate in. It can take our minds off of stressful situations as we dress up for fun and embrace our school spirit with friends and teachers. Thank you to all students and staff who participated in this event.

Yesterday, Second Grade had the opportunity to visit Rohrbach's Farm for their fall field trip. Classes learned about different varieties of gourds, apples, and pumpkins. Students picked their own pumpkin from the field and ended the day playing in the playland area. It was a fun and rewarding day for all! 🍎🍂
