Mrs. Winslett’s 8th grade ELA classes kicked off celebrating #maythe4thbewithyou! They learned why this is considered “Star Wars Week”, a bit about the movies and creation of Star Wars, and even some Star Wars Puns or “dad jokes.” The best part was holding a light saber!

Yearbooks were not included in the packages at the beginning of the school year. If you have not bought a yearbook, you only have until May 15th to purchase one! You can send $50 cash or check to Mrs. Frazier or the office.
