Join us tonight at 7pm for Game Night. We'll have games in the gym and bingo in the lunchroom along with free popcorn and water. We hope to see you there!

As we experience the super cold weather this week, we do not intend to modify our schedule for school at this point. However, we do recognize that temperatures will be too low to send kids out for recess in the coming days. Additionally, if at any point you feel it is too dangerous to send your children out, you always have the option of keeping kids at home. Please also be aware that kids should be properly dressed, as skin can freeze very quickly in these temperatures. Thanks, and Stay Warm, Bearcats!
