Just a reminder that school will be dismissed Wednesday, November 26th at 1PM. There will be NO after school program. Thank you!

Records were meant to be broken, and broken again and then broken again.
On Friday Khloe Swanson set the deadlift record at 255lbs
Yesterday, during retests, Allie Rutar breaks that record with a dealdlift of 260 lbs then three class periods later Khloe Swanson reclaims the record at 265lbs.
Competition drives excellence and these two have perfectly embodied that spirit.
Today will be the final day of retests then Top 5 Girls and Boys totals will be announced tomorrow.

The nurse's office has been busy with screenings in the last couple weeks. Elementary students are getting their vision screening printouts in their Thursday folders today. Screenings were conducted with the WA Spot Screener loaned from the health department. In the right upper corner of the printout, a passing report says "Screening Complete". A non-passing report says "Complete Eye Exam Recommended". If you have questions, feel free to call or email Mrs. Timm.
