We are organizing a month-long scavenger hunt designed to bring all families together, encourage connection, and create meaningful experiences. Throughout the month, participants will have the chance to take part in a variety of activities and be entered into several exciting giveaways. As a special highlight, one lucky family will win a getaway to Lava Hot Springs - thanks to The Suites of Lava Hot Springs!
Thank you for your continued support in strengthening families in our community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions."

Info from our previous post:
At our most recent Regular School Board Meeting (3/11/26), Mr. Williams shared several topics with the board that can also be discussed at the upcoming P.A.W. Meetings if attendees would like to cover those topics.
A "P.A.W. Meeting" is a Parent & Patron Advisory Workshop. It is an open meeting for anyone who would like to be involved with our school district.
If you have concerns or suggestions, we encourage you to attend one of these meetings. The P.A.W. Meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions, receive answers, and share your input.
