Yesterday, we had 12 Junior High Students travel to Brookings for the Festival of Young Voices. After a lot of hard work during the day, they had a very successful concert!
Our school received a shout out from the Brookings Salvation Army for our efforts. Ms. Leighton, these students, and myself want to thank everyone again. It was amazing to see all these donations and to see the students come together to make this run smoothly!
Lunch menu change this week:
Wednesday: BBQs
Thursday: Quesadillas
