Our school Christmas tree is looking a little bare this year so we are hoping to get some help trimming it.  Students are invited to bring in one homemade or store bought ornament to display on our Christmas tree.  Please keep in mind that ornaments will not be returned.  Only one ornament per child.  We are excited to see our bare tree turn into a magical decorated tree by our students.

We enjoyed all the creepy, creative, funny, and original Halloween costumes this year.  Students enjoyed parading through the middle school and high school halls in their costumes.  It was very hard for our team of six judges to pick winners for each of the categories.

Mrs. Huyser donated the pumpkin and Dustyn Hulse (2nd grade student) designed his face.  Students were asked to guess the weight of Pete.  The student that came closest in each grade level received a Halloween prize. "Pete the Pumpkin's" actual weight was 86 1/2 pounds.  Good job, students!
