SCHOOL WILL BE IN SESSION ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16TH, AS A SNOW MAKEUP DAY.
FFA/Agriculture
Valentines day is one of the biggest holidays in the floral industry, so in honor of Valentines Day, floral students created masterpieces to celebrate their love for flowers and show off all they have learned. Take a look at some of their beautiful work!
Also, don't forget the FFA meeting Wednesday, 2/18, at 3:30.
2nd Grade is always hard at work! They've been doing puzzles and journaling.
And they have some GREAT Valentine boxes!
The middle school dance is scheduled for February 20th from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
See flyer (below) for more details.
ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS:
There is a fee for this charged by NFHS.

Are you interested in becoming a substitute teacher?
If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher and you do not have the required 36 college hours, you can do an online course that will allow you to get a substitute certificate. Here is the link to that course, and here is the link to the DESE web page that gives you more information about what you need to do to get a substitute certification. Our daily rate for subs for the 2025-26 school year is $105/day.
