Sunday night was an evening of laughs, tears and dreams fulfilled as our graduates received their high school diplomas. The graduation ceremony for the Class of 2008 was a wonderful expression of the mission of the school.

We are pleased to announce that 63% of our graduates qualify for the Bright Futures Scholarship!

The new graduates are on their senior trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City. Thank you to everyone who helped make the trip possible.

What could be better than wrapping up the school year with some food for thought? Thanks to McDonald’s Made the Grade! Program, "A" students can enjoy a complimentary hamburger, small French fries (or apple dippers) and a small drink as a reward for their hard work. Made the Grade! allows children in grades K5 to 6^th who earn an "A" (or equivalent) to receive the free meal. Children must bring their original report card to McDonald’s for this offer. (This offer is for one meal per student, not one meal per "A".)

Mrs. Briggs, 2^nd grade teacher, is collecting Capri Sun and Kool Aid Jammer juice pouches to make purses. Any donations of empty, clean juice pouches would be greatly appreciated. Please see Mrs. Briggs if you have any questions. Thank you!

All sports uniforms were to be turned in immediately!

We have a few ways we can raise much needed funds and help the environment at the same time. One way is to collect old cell phones and printer cartridges to recycle. The company we use also recycles the following items:

GPS Devices (Garmin, Tom-Tim, Magellan)

Video Game Consoles (xBox, PlayStation)

DVD movies & DVD video games

Laptop/Notebook computers

Digital Picture Frames

Portable DVD players

MP3 music players

Digital Cameras

To get more information about this recycling program, you can visit the web site at www.EcoPhone.com

We also collect newspapers to recycle. The recycling company can also take white paper, magazines and catalogs. With the additional materials comes the chance for us to make more money. You can bring the items for recycling to the office or you can place them directly in the green bin on the south side of the parking lot. Thank you for your support!
