• Jen Topil & Kelsey Gabel- Today we recognize our awesome kindergarten staff! Jen and Kelsey are dedicated to their profession and continue to help our kindergartners grow both academically and socially. It may look like chaos some days but it is all part of the course by allowing the students to be their own. Thank you for all your patience and guidance!

• Carrie Bauers and Aundrea Morner- Shout out to our ladies who hold down our science section in the high school! These ladies do a great job at introducing new concepts in a fun and interactive way. There are many projects being done and love seeing the posters or skeletons that are hung throughout our school displaying our students' work! Keep up the great work!

• Grant Gabel - Thank you to Grant for rounding out our JH Science teaching and also teaching sections of our JH Math as well! He has very engaging lessons that have students up and moving while also learning about our planet. Thank you and best of luck into the basketball season!

Another great week in the books and another great day to be a HUSKY!!! 💛 🖤 🐾

Congratulations to our actors, actresses, crew & coaches for their win on Wednesday! They competed against tough competition and came out on top! This shows their dedication and the hard work they have put in. Looking forward to Tuesday for the public competition and how the season wraps up!

“The season of being thankful and grateful."

Good morning!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend that was full of laughs, fun and good memories. Welcome to the shortest week of the school year and what a ride it has been! We continue to move forward with our first semester. Can you believe we are 4 weeks away from the end of the 2nd quarter and the 1st semester! It has been a fast and wild ride but I hope that you are able to take the time to reflect on what has gone well, what we an improve at and what the future may hold as we pave our path going forward.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for this reflection, create more memories with friends/family and also enjoy the present. With these good times also brings reflection of family members we may have lost and the gratefulness that we were able to share time with those. It also gives us the appreciation of what we have now and how we can continue to be thankful for those moments given.

Gratitude makes sense of our past because of the memories that are shared. It gives us a sense of accomplishment for what we have went through and gives us those learning moments to help us grow as individuals. Gratitude brings peace for today because we were granted another day on this Earth. With that comes the responsibility to living it to our fullest and doing things for others. Lastly, gratitude creates a vision for tomorrow and where we want to be both internally and externally.

During this Thanksgiving, I hope you all are able to gather with friends and family and create more memories. Take advantage of that time and be in the moment. Reflect on the past, be thankful for the present and continue to dream of tomorrow.

Have a great Sunday and let's have a great week!

Quote of the week to make you think:

"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
