Today we are thankful for our staff and faculty who spend time outside of school hours volunteering. This Ready, Set, Read event is just one example of how Rams give back to our community!
At 12pm today there will be 300 Thanksgiving meals handed out to those in need at Labor Park. See the flyer below for more information. Thankful for our giving community.

Students in 5th grade social studies classes were sworn in as "secret FBI agents" this week as a part of a special investigation into the lost colony of Roanoke. If you have a 5th grader, ask them what their groups decided might have happened!
