— Every Friday afternoon Mrs. Trahan’s Theatre Arts class buddy up with students from Mrs. Ives’ first grade class. Each high school student takes their “Reading Buddy” and walks them to the library. Mrs. Trahan’s class gets to listen to the first graders read, or they get to read to them. The buddy system is something the high school and elementary students look forward to every Friday. It is a great and helpful way to get both students involved with reading, patience, and working together. This is also a good way for the high school students to get involved with volunteer work.

Homecoming Week was a success with students participating in Jersey Day, Nerd Day, Super Hero Day, Twin Day, and Spirit Day. It was topped off with a great pep rally! Thank you Cheerleaders and Mrs. Work for a fun filled week!
