Communicable sicknesses continue to exist amongst students in our building. These illnesses include, but are not limited to: COVID-19, Influenza, Stomach Flu, Pink Eye, and Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Monitor your students for symptoms of sickness, especially fever of 100.3 or higher, and please keep them home if they are unwell. We will continue to sanitize and stress sound hygienic practices, but vigilance at home is also an essential part of keeping our students as safe and healthy as possible. Thank you

Throughout the last few weeks Mr. Hellman’s social studies classes have been learning about the causes of the American Revolution. The evil King Hellman III has unjustly taxed the colonists for far too long. Today the colonists had enough.
