This time of year, we know students have an increased chance of latching on to the germs that viciously circulate. Staying at home to recover is part of the process.
But if your student is absent, give the school office a quick call! Communication is key!

There's a lot of Christmas fun happening in Bulldog Country today!

Some of our elementary students enjoyed a special "Cookies and Crafts" event, hosted by the Project EP class from the high school. From decorating cookies to creating festive crafts, it was a blast! We love seeing our oldest students stepping up as leaders to inspire the next generation of Bulldogs.

Finish this memorable movie line “The best way to spread Christmas cheer…..” And our students have been doing just that as they have been busy visiting Christian House and Covington. Cast members of Hometown Holiday were able to perform some tunes from their recent show and Kindergarten sang their little hearts out to bring joy to residents.
