REMINDER:
Free physicals will be offered at the Jr/Sr High School on Wednesday, May 6th from 8:00–11:00 AM.
These are available to students currently in grades 6–11. Please note that all current 6th graders are required to have a physical before entering 7th grade.
This is a great opportunity to get it taken care of early! Any student planning to participate in sports during the 2026–2027 school year must have a completed physical before they can begin practice.
Don’t let this take up a day of your summer—get it done now!

Our 6th-grade High Ability students had a great time at Outdoor Discovery Day!

Students explored nature and built new skills through hands-on activities. They practiced tomahawk throwing, completed a tree scavenger hunt, caught and released fish, learned how to pitch a tent, and enjoyed a round of disc golf.

It was a fun day of learning, teamwork, and trying new things outside the classroom!
