Dear Tiger Community,
Our high school / middle school building water issue has been resolved.
School will operate normally on Friday, March 21st, 2025.
Thank you.
Recently, students in Mrs. Brown’s 5th and 6th Grade art classes brought their creativity to life by designing 8-pointed stars that showcased radial symmetry. Not only did the students enjoy the artistic challenge, but they also honed their measuring skills throughout the process. To guide them, Mrs. Brown used a large wooden ruler—gifted to her by Mr. Rarig, the technical education teacher—as a visual tool to teach the students about measuring in inches and quarter inches. This project was a fantastic example of how the art and technical education departments can collaborate to enrich students' learning experiences.

Dear Tiger Community,
The high school / middle school building experienced a water issue today. Due to the lack of water, we will be dismissing students in grades 5 through 12 at 11:30 am today, Thursday, March 20th, 2025. All students will be offered lunch before dismissal.
Students in kindergarten to fourth grade will remain in school and be dismissed at normal time. We continue to investigate the water system issue related to operating the secondary school building tomorrow and will update you when more information is available.
Thank you.

Coming back for its second appearance, it is the Teachers vs. Students Basketball Game sponsored by SAVE! On Friday, March 14th, there will be games played at 6:00 PM for JV and 7:30 PM for Varsity. After last year’s student victory in the Varsity game and the teachers' win in the JV game, both sides want to send a message in their Friday showdowns. When asked about the outcome of this year’s game, Varsity player Parker Pesarchick said, “We’re throwing lobs all day, dunks only.” In response to Pesarchick's comment, teacher Ms. Stine said, “Parker thinks he can dunk, but I don’t think we can get a sheet of paper between him and the ground.” Then, Pesarchick’s teammate Braysen Leslie commented, “Parker may not be able to dunk, but everyone will see the score when the time comes.” On March 14th, the ultimate rivalry between student and teacher will commence. Don’t miss out on the game of the century! 🏀
