Thanks to a new cooperative effort between area booster clubs and the district, our middle and high school students will have a whole new resource available for their fitness and athletic development. Englebert Training Systems (ETS) will begin working with our students this summer and throughout the school year providing our students with specialized training services to promote lifelong fitness skills and athletic development. Students will have the opportunity to work with ETS and their programs in their physical education courses, sports programs, and before and after school programs. Look for much more information as we integrate ETS into our programs this next school year.
Thank you to the numerous booster clubs for their support in bringing ETS to our students!

Every student at our middle school poured their creativity and kindness into crafting notes of encouragement. This week, we've planted these uplifting messages in our very own BEE KIND garden, sowing seeds of positivity and support for all who visit. 💜
It's incredible to see the power of words blossoming. Whether it's a simple "You've got this!" or a heartfelt reminder that "You are capable of amazing things," these notes are reminders that we're all in this together.
