The halls were filled with love on Wednesday for Valentine’s Day. The office was also filled with balloons. We wanted to remind parents that balloons are NOT allowed at school. If your child brings one to school, it will be collected and kept in the office. The balloon rule applies to class parties too.
February 23rd, 5:30-9:00 pm, Anderson HS.
Enjoy a Parents Night Out, while your kids (K-5th) enjoy an evening of fun and all things robots.
