Reminders about the Water Wars, "Assassin" game that high school students are playing:
1. This is not a school-organized event: it should not happen in school or take up any time from faculty or staff.
2. Students must wait until the buses have left after school for any parking lot activity--be careful out there!
3. Before or after practice is fair game. Good luck, Mustangs!

Today we celebrate our incredible Nutrition Services team for School Lunch Hero Day! 🥪🍎
Every day, these dedicated individuals do so much more than serve meals! They greet students with a smile, create a welcoming environment, and make sure every student is fueled and ready to learn! From early mornings to busy lunch periods, their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt in every classroom.
We are so grateful for the care, consistency, and positivity they bring to our school community. Thank you for everything you do to support our students and staff, as you truly make a difference each and every day!
