Committee Reports
Principal – Mrs. Pamela DeNeen
We have about 340 students which is up from last year.
We also have an additional Young 5’s class this year.
The district required soft start for Kindergarten when well.
We have been trained to be a Leader in Me school which will teach the 7 habits and help with school beautification. This will help
our students take ownership of learning and leadership.
Our first fire drill was held today and we were all out in 2:58 minutes. 2nd drill is scheduled for 9/30.
A former student, Ben Blessing is revamping our child’s garden into an airplane garden for his Eagle Scout project. He is taking
donations thru a Go Fund Me account to cover the estimated $1000 to cover it.
We received 2 grants from the district this year. First was money to cover a promethean board. The second was a grant that
provided us with 1 class of Autovote and a computer.
