A Message from the Principal A Message from the Principal

Well hello there, FALL! 🍂


It was a quite a change of pace having our Wildcats walk in Friday morning with sweaters and light jackets and oh my, that wind! We hope all our Wildcats take some time to enjoy the outdoors with this beautiful weather. Red Ribbon Week kicks off on Friday with a visit from VMHS!
