Don't Forget the Food Truck event tomorrow at the High School parking lot. The trucks will be serving food from 4:00 - 7:00 pm. The high school cafeteria will be open if anyone would like to come in to eat. This is not just for the High School we would love to see everyone from the community be able to enjoy the good food and beverages available. The weather is supposed to cooperate so we hope everyone has a great time.

Mrs. Mayberry's first and second grade enrichment class has been reading the book Creepy Carrots. At the conclusion of the book, students were tasked with defining the problem, coming up with a design to keep the carrots in the fence, and then testing their designs. These students worked together, adjusted their designs to fix the flaws, and came up with a fence that would contain the creepy carrots (pumpkins in this case). Well done students! On hand to test the students' designs were Mr. Harridge and Mr. Vance.
