Mrs. Howard’s 5th Grade ELA classes have been busy putting their imaginations to work crafting narrative compositions that reveal the backstory of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
They were challenged to answer questions about the Great Pumpkin: Who is he? Where does he live, and why has poor Linus never gotten a visit, no matter how long he waits in his sincere patch?
The students discussed character traits and the ongoing theme of faith, hope, and perseverance. Although the Great Pumpkin never appears, Linus’ belief never wavers, even when others tease him or when he’s disappointed every year.

It was such a joy to see all the students dressed up for Red Ribbon Week—their creativity and school spirit truly made the week special. Our Pre-K students had an especially fun time celebrating the 50th day of school with a festive 50s Sock Hop.
On Friday, each student received a small treat with their meal—a piece of candy—to wrap up a great week.
We also want to extend our congratulations to all the football players and coaches — High School District Champs, 4th Grade Super Bowl Champions, and 1st Grade for making it to the Super Bowl! What an exciting accomplishment for all the teams!

Wow we are overwhelmed with the response to our food pantry NEED. We know when we present a need we better prepare because the response will be great.
We are humbled and grateful for this community. They went above and beyond to supply our immediate needs and our future needs. We have had much needed food to fill the shelves and monetary donations that are unbelievable.
At this time we are happy to say we are stocked through Thanksgiving and will be able to provide extra this year for our families in need.
This community touched our school and raised us up to supply and meet a need. Our families won't be forgotten.
