Congratulations to Mrs. Laury for being the staff 540 winner for January. Mrs. Laury worked with the 7th grade teams to provide us with the opportunity to attend the show during school hours and tie the production into the curriculum. She did a WONDERFUL job. She is truly such a positive, happy presence for both the staff and students. I don't think I've ever seen her not smiling! Her hard work in her classes and with the extracurriculars does not go unnoticed. |

On Wednesday, February 25th 2026 we will be celebrating Pink Shirt Day at the Middle School. You/your student can participate by wearing PINK on that day. Each year we participate in Pink Shirt Day to show that we, as a school community, encourage everyone to practice kindness and we wear pink to show that we do not tolerate bullying. T-Shirts will be distributed to students in February.
