Our student bookstores are now open for business every morning from 7:45-8:00 am. If your child is running low on any basic school supplies, they can purchase items such as pencils, crayons, notebooks, index cards, white out, etc. at one of the three bookstores located throughout the building. The bookstores are run by 8th grade students, giving them a great opportunity for service and leadership.
Our walkathon this year, “Red, Walk & Blue Jay” was in honor of our Business Manager, Mrs. Cathy Dreyer, who passed away in July after a courageous battle with cancer.
