Today we had our first of two tornado drills that we do throughout the year. The students did a great job of moving quickly to their safety areas!

Our teachers are AWESOME! We spent 2 hours in professional learning after school today. Teachers could select their learning paths - everything from Relaxation techniques to Tech Tips & Tools to Best Practices in Reading Instruction. Thank you to ALL of our presenters & teachers!
