The bond proposal includes the replacement of more than 130,000 square feet of roofing at the Primary, Middle, and High Schools. Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, May 5!

GIRLS YOUTH BASKETBALL NEWS
After watching games today and having too many girls between 3:40-4:15 when we have 60+ girls in the gym, we are switching up the girls after school practice times and days. Tuesday will be 3/4 girls 3:00-4:30. Thursday will be 5/6 girls 3:45-5:15.
We feel this change needs to be made to provide better quality practice times with the girls.
Starts it this week!
3/4 3:00-4:30 Tuesday (11-11)
5/6 3:45-5:15 Thursday (11-13)
