Tonight's district baseball game has been pushed back to 7:30 at Billings vs McAuley.

Last week we had our 2023-24 Kindergarteners come in and follow our current Kindergarteners around the building. They visited the classrooms, traveled to specials, ate lunch in the cafeteria, and learned about bus safety and expectations. Our current Kindergarteners were great role models, and we are excited for the new crew in the Fall!
