Freedom

What does freedom mean to you?

Dear Parents and Students, Tuesday, May 22, we will begin our EOG tests. I would like for the students to dress for success. We will take reading on Tuesday, math on Wednesday and Thusday. Get plenty of rest and wear your best for success. I'm excited for you to show what you know. All students who attend all three days of testing will have a cookout at Dana Park on Friday. Testing will begin following breakfast. It would be great if you could be at school at 7:40 a.m.
