Girls are to wear skirts or dresses and boys are to wear shirts with collars and long pants (no jeans please).

Staff Announcement                             
We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Teri Glenn as our regular kindergarten teacher! Mrs. Glenn stepped in during the second week of school and has been blessing our kindergartners with her teaching ever since. In addition, Mrs. Kvinsland will continue as our P.E. teacher for all grades. We are grateful for her skill and dedication in that position.
