Happy National Custodian Day to Mr. Curtis, Mrs. Mandy, Mrs. Michelle, Mr. Woodall, and Mr. Maurice (not pictured)! Today, we celebrated and recognized the hard work and dedication of our custodians, who keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming every single day. Their efforts often go unnoticed, but they play an important role in making our learning environment the best it can be. Thank you for everything!
Mrs. Folds and Mrs. Hill did an amazing job organizing the 8th-grade field trip to Ingalls Harbor for Career Opportunities.
