K, 1 and 2 students had fun celebrating Grinch Day. They played Bingo, ate snacks and had Grinch-themed snacks. They ended the day with a movie and a special visit from the Grinch himself! The Grinch showed us it is important to be kind.

2021-2022 Snow Day / Remote Learning Day
Last spring we surveyed our families on how they felt regarding remote learning during snow days. The response was over 70% in favor of continuing to use these days in the future. Based on this response, and as long as we have enough advanced notice, we are planning to have some remote learning during snow days this year. We will send devices or materials home for all grade levels. Please note the following important information regarding remote learning snow days:
If the weather event keeps us out of school for more than one day, only the first day will be remote. Other days will be traditional snow days.
If the weather event lasts for several more days, we will consider having another remote learning day built into that time.
Please note, the remote days will only be used if we have enough notice to send devices or materials home with students.
All announcements regarding remote and traditional snow days will be posted through email, text message, school app and Facebook.
Members of the junior high FOR (Friends of Rachel) club were selling handmade bracelets for a free-will donation at the junior high basketball game. Money raised will be used for the FOR club and future Rachel’s Challenge projects.
