The JH held our 1st set of safety drills today, including: Earthquake, Tornado, Intruder, and Fire. Our kids did a fabulous job of execution and listening to teachers’ instructions. What a great time to talk with your kids about the safety plan for your house.

It’s always an exciting day when all our sports teams are holding practices/tryouts. We had high numbers for FB, VB, and CC! Good luck to all of our student-athletes and coaches.
