Thanks so much to all our great field trip drivers. We relied on many of you these last few weeks to get our students to their destinations. With the price of gas being what it is, your offer to drive means even more. We appreciate all of you!

We have been in contact with Cole R-V’s bus service provider, Durham, regarding the transportation of our students in the next school year. They are reviewing the service and putting together numbers. We will let you know just as soon as we know what they will charge us and proceed from that point. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks so much to the 7th grade parents and students who did a fantastic job of planning & hosting the 8th grade graduation. You did a great job and the 8th graders and their families truly appreciated your efforts!

Help is especially needed towards the end of the day (5:00 – 5:30 pm), when all coolers and signs need to be collected from the course.
