Students in Mr. Sauls’s 4th grade class enjoyed a hands-on activity observing taproots, fibrous roots and lots and lots of worms!
I just wanted to send an update on this morning. Our power is back on and phones are working. Thank you for your patience.
Good morning,
Our campus is experiencing a power outage. At this time, our phones and email are temporarily unavailable. We will keep you updated. Classes are continuing as normal.
