This Memorial Day, we reflect on and express our gratitude for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We are truly thankful. 🇺🇸
End of year traditions are a very important aspect of school life- especially when they involve a water war! All PK- 8 staff and students come prepared to end the year soaked. Our Lee County Sheriff's Department gets in on the fun, too! It is an easy way for staff to hide the tears as we let go of this year's kiddos for the summer. Thank you to the bus drivers who get in on the fun by taking extra time pulling away and cleaning up the aftermath. #Proud2bCL
5th grade Extended Learning Program students, along with their teacher, Mrs. Weirather and Principal Mrs. Fuger delivered a $500 donation to PAW in Fort Madison. Student, Gabe Fowler wanted to do something positive to bring awareness to animal cruelty. He enlisted support from his classmates and the entire school. Posters and public service announcements were made for a $1 Hat Day and the school happily participated. Thank you for your leadership, Gabe!
Today is the last day of school! We would like to thank everyone for making the 2022-23 school year so special. Have a great summer! ☀️
